Zelensky confirmed the pair talked about the issue during a meeting at the prime minister's country retreat northwest of London.

"You will hear some I think very important decisions," he said in English but added that "a little bit more" work was needed until then. His tour of European capitals starting last week has helped Ukraine secure more promises from France and Germany of military aid before an expected Ukrainian counter-offensive.Nevertheless, Sunak confirmed that Britain would help Ukraine to train "combat-ready pilots" as part of its support package.Sunak said he would talk to other countries' leaders about aircraft support at the upcoming Council of Europe and G7 meetings this week.

Last week, Britain became the first Western country to offer long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, with its Storm Shadow rockets.
