Iran war cannot be ’windfall’ for Putin, says Starmer, as Zelenskyy arrives in UK

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting the UK on Tuesday, where he will meet with Keir Starmer. The visit coincides with a government deadline for Roman Abramovich to release £2.5 billion from the sale of Chelsea FC to Ukraine war victims, a payment Abramovich is resisting. British leaders are emphasizing continued support for Ukraine amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, warning against allowing the conflict with Iran to benefit Russia. Data indicates Russia has earned billions from fossil fuel sales since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran, revenue vital for funding its military operations in Ukraine. The UK has recently supplied Ukraine with thousands of drones, artillery rounds, and ammunition.
