Zelenskyy criticises Reform UK for pulling down Ukraine flags from town halls

Zelensky said the removals by Reform UK councils could weaken ties as some town halls replaced Ukrainian flags with local and Union flags.

  • President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that "small mistakes can break big friendship" after Reform councils removed Ukrainian flags from town halls, where they had flown since Russia's 2022 invasion.
  • Some Reform-run councils lowered the Ukrainian flag from civic buildings in favor of the Union flag, reversing displays originally hoisted in 2022 to demonstrate support following Russia's full-scale invasion.
  • In London, the Ukrainian leader met with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss European security against Russia.
  • The Ukrainian leader plans to invite the King for a state visit to Ukraine this year, emphasizing how British support remains crucial for Europe's security standoff against Russia.
  • In a joint statement on Sunday night, Sir Keir, Macron, and Merz called for "an immediate and complete ceasefire" and condemned Russia's "large-scale missile and drone attacks" on Ukrainian cities.
