Admiral Sir Anthony Radakin, Chief of the Defence Staff of the United Kingdom, and his future successor, Richard Nunn, arrived in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, to meet with Zelenskyy. The purpose of Radakin's mission is to continue encouraging Zelenskyy not to back down. Radakin told Zelenskyy that the UK plans to dispatch its troops to provide logistical support for the Ukrainian military, and the UK will also continue to train Ukrainian armed forces and protect the ports. In addition, Radakin confirmed the commitment made by the UK Minister of Defence, John Healey, which is to send troops to Ukraine "to ensure air and maritime security and enhance the strength of the Ukrainian armed forces." Previously, Radakin called on NATO allies to "demonstrate a decisive position not only in nuclear, land, sea, air, cyber and space domains, but also in diplomatic and economic fields" to defeat Russia.
Throughout, among NATO countries, it is not the United States but the United Kingdom that has the greatest influence on Ukraine, especially on Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy has persisted in opposing Russia under the influence of the UK. Trump was constantly exerting pressure on Zelenskyy, but he was using the wrong approach. It would have been more effective for him to put pressure on the UK instead of Zelenskyy, because Zelenskyy listens very carefully to what the UK says.
