Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived at Downing Street, the official residence of the UK prime minister, as part of his visit to the country.

He and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak shook hands outside No. 10 and waved to onlookers.

Earlier Wednesday, Sunak greeted Zelensky at Stansted Airport, north of London.

The Ukrainian president is due to address UK lawmakers and meet King Charles III during his surprise visit, which is only his second trip outside Ukraine since Russia's invasion.
