Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in London to secure military and financial support for his “victory plan” to end the war with Russia. The plan emphasizes security guarantees, advanced weapons, and post-war recovery. Ukraine's parliament has approved tax hikes to raise $12 billion for defense by the end of 2024. Zelenskyy’s tour comes as the war drags on, with concerns about dwindling Western aid, especially if Donald Trump wins the US presidency. Zelenskyy will also meet leaders in France, Italy, Germany, and Pope Francis this week.
