President Zelensky made a surprise visit to the UK, addressing both Houses of Parliament and meeting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and King Charles III. Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer also reiterated that “it is vital that we all continue to stand together in full support of Ukraine.” Sunak announced that the UK will begin training Ukrainian marines and fighter pilots, “ensuring Ukraine has a military able to defend its interests well into the future” and adding that “nothing is off the table.” Ukrainian troops are also being trained to use British Challenger 2 tanks. During the trip, the UK announced it is “actively looking” at supplying British jets to Ukraine as a “long-term solution rather than a short-term capability, which is what Ukraine needs most now.” Training of Ukrainian pilots in the UK could start in the spring. During his speech to Parliament, Zelensky said that “[i]n Britain, the King is an air force pilot. In Ukraine today, every air force pilot is a king.”
