LONDON (Reuters) -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will try to revive hope for peace in Ukraine at a meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other Western leaders on Sunday, two days after the Ukrainian president clashed with U.S. President Donald Trump.

After the heated row with Trump, who threatened to stop support for Ukraine after accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful for U.S. aid, the Ukrainian leader flew from Washington to London on Saturday to be greeted with a warm hug from Starmer.
