RUSSIA / FSU POLITICS - In Brief 10 Jul 2024 by Alex Teddy
On July 8 Zelensky visited Poland and met the prime minister. As usual this was announced in advance. The meeting was surprisingly low key.

He is new in office because the Labor Party won an election on July 5. The UK Chief of Defense Staff was also there.  The new government is keen to emphasize continuity with regard to supporting Ukraine. The UK announced a new aid package including 100 Brimstone missiles, artillery and 250,000 rounds of ammunition. London will speed up deliveries of assets already pledged.
