Starmer Backs Zelensky Amid U.S. Criticism, Urges Unity on Ukraine. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a "democratically elected leader” after Donald Trump labeled him a “dictator". In a call with Zelensky, Starmer said it was "perfectly reasonable" for Ukraine to suspend elections during wartime, just as the UK did during World War II. Despite Trump’s criticism of Zelensky’s leadership and the election pause, Starmer reaffirmed his support for Ukraine. Next week, he’ll meet Trump in Washington to push for a "US backstop" aimed at deterring further Russian aggression. Starmer emphasized the need for unity, while Zelensky thanked the UK for its continued support.
