The Elysee Palace announced their trip after Zelensky embarked on his surprise trip to Europe. The summit is expected to discusss migration, the economy and, the ongoing war in Ukraine.

As part of his trip, he made his first visit to the UK since the beginning of the war nearly one year ago.

He met with King Charles III and prime minister Rishi Sunak, and made an address to MPs in parliament.

Zelensky came to Western Europe with a message - a plea for more weapons and fighter jets to help bolster his country’s defence.
