President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at Downing Street in London for talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday following the Ukrainian leader's clash with US President Donald Trump, according to an AFP reporter at the scene.

Supporters cheered as Zelensky's convoy swept into Downing Street, where he was embraced by Starmer and posed for photographs before heading inside the UK leader's home.

The meeting follows an extraordinary public spat between Zelensky and Donald Trump at the White House over the war with Russia, with the US president threatening to withdraw support for Ukraine.

Zelensky had seen the meeting in the Oval Office as an opportunity to convince the United States not to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine three years ago.

Starmer spoke to both Trump and Zelensky on Friday and expressed his "unwavering support" for Ukraine, echoing similar statements of backing for Zelensky from other European leaders.
