British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Saturday, marking the first visit by the UK's new leader.

Video of the meeting was released by the Ukrainian presidential service, showing Sunak and Zelenskiy speaking one-to-one and holding talks with other officials.

Following the meeting, Sunak announced a 50 million pound ($59.4 million) air defence package aid to Ukraine.

The UK has been one of the staunchest Western supporters of Ukraine's resistance to Russia, giving Kyiv 2.3 billion pounds ($2.7 billion) in military aid.

Sunak, a former finance minister, took office last month following the shortlived premiership of Liz Truss.

Truss and her predecessor Boris Johnson had both made public support for Ukraine an important part of their agenda, and Sunak has said he will continue this.

During his visit, Rishi Sunak also visited an exhibition displaying destroyed Russian military vehicles with Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Saturday
