Zelenskyy met U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and addressed parliament in a bid for more military aid in the form of advanced weapons and "wings for freedom" fighter jets as Ukraine prepares for expected spring offensives by Russian forces.

It is Zelenskyy's second known trip outside Ukraine since Russia's invasion nearly a year ago. He visited the U.S. in December.

"President Zelenskyy’s visit to the UK is a testament to his country’s courage, determination and fight, and a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two countries," Sunak said in a statement.

  1. Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.

    1. Long term investment is the best now. I invested $6,500 in march last year with Mr Charles top up my trade with $1500 every week. Now, I’m having over $247,000 on my dashboard. Toping up your trade is really important
