He is also expected to say: “Ukrainian flags have flown over almost every town and city on these islands for the last nine months. No one told people to put them there.“They felt moved to show solidarity with people they have never met, in a country most have never visited, to show their faith in fairness, freedom and the rule of law.

Sunak used a visit to the Ukrainian capital to set out a new £50m package of defence aid, which includes 125 anti-aircraft guns and equipment to counter Iranian-supplied drones.
