Defence Secretary John Healey compared Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's position to that of Sir Winston Churchill after US President Donald Trump criticised Mr Zelensky for postponing elections following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Mr Healey spoke after hailing a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to deepen the UK’s partnership with Norway.

Mr Healey told a press conference: “This was a man who, stuck in his country, led his country, and still does. He was elected. He’s the elected leader of Ukraine, and he’s done what Winston Churchill did in Britain in the Second World War, suspended elections while at war.

“And our job is to stand with the Ukrainians, support the Ukrainians, support them in their fight. And if they choose to talk, support them in the negotiations as well.”
