Sir Keir Starmer backs Volodymyr Zelensky after Donald Trump calls the Ukrainian leader 'a dictator without elections'. The Prime Minister supports Zelensky as Ukraine's democratically elected leader and highlights the suspension of elections during war time. The war of words between Trump and Zelensky comes after the US president criticizes Ukraine for postponing elections and falsely claiming Ukraine started the war with Russia. Other British political figures also push back against Trump's remarks. The spat occurs as US and Russian officials meet to broker a peace deal in Ukraine.
