The UK is preparing to host Volodymyr Zelensky for the first time on an official state visit next year as a mark of the Government's solidarity with the war-torn nation.

The King is expected to extend an invitation to the Ukrainian leader paving the way for the honour of such a visit in 2027.

He has visited the UK 13 times since Russia's invasion in 2022 but never on an official state visit although he has previously had an audience with the King and was accorded a historic welcome by Downing Street last month.
