Portuguese Prime Minister and European Council President António Costa also arrived in Kyiv to mark the occasion. Representatives from over thirty countries within the coalition supporting Ukraine are convening in the capital. The meetings will focus on bolstering support for Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against Russian aggression, now entering its fifth year. Burnham’s visit signals the UK’s continued commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and defense. The presence of these leaders underscores the international community’s solidarity with Ukraine on this significant national day.
