RUSSIA'S President Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to benefit from the Iran war, the Prime Minister told Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday during his visit to the UK.

Sir Keir Starmer said Russia should not reap the rewards of higher global oil prices and benefit from the easing of sanctions on Mr Putin’s regime as a result of Middle East instability.

Mr Zelensky, who also met King Charles at Buckingham Palace during his trip to London, thanked the UK for support during a “difficult winter” for his country, during which Mr Putin’s forces targeted critical energy infrastructure during freezing conditions.

Sir Keir welcomed Mr Zelensky to Downing Street for talks also attended by Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte.
