  "account": "London is once again hosting a royal welcome for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with King Charles set to meet him in person. Zelenskyy announced he would be visiting the U.K. and meeting both the king and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham. Their encounter comes amid ongoing tensions with the Trump administration over Russia and Ukraine. The monarch has been actively promoting the Ukrainian leader during critical moments. A ceremonial guard from the Irish Guards will be present when Zelenskyy arrives at Downing Street. This visit marks the first time the Ukrainian president is set to visit a European capital since Trump made his announcement last Friday. Burnham, who has not condemned Trump’s deal with Russia, vowed to support Ukraine in any way possible, emphasizing the UK’s commitment to Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression. The U.K. has pledged £45 million worth of surface-to-air missiles, banned Russian liquefied natural gas exports, and increased funding for delivering more than 5,000 Lightweight Multirole Missiles to Ukraine over the next four years.",
