Plans for the two countries to sign a Ukrainian minerals deal in exchange for continued US support were also put on hold as Mr Zelensky abruptly left the White House.
Britain’s media has condemned US President Donald Trump after his bitter Oval Office confrontation with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
In front of a packed media crowd, the Ukrainian president, Mr Trump and vice president JD Vance spoke over and interrupted each other.
Ending its editorial on a sombre note, The Guardian reports Sunday’s defence summit of European leaders in London is “more crucial than ever” after Mr Trump’s “blistering” attack on Ukraine’s leader.
Others maintain more neutrality, instead focusing on the “uncharted waters” now surrounding Ukrainian peace talks and the groundwork laid by Sir Keir Starmer during his White House visit on Thursday, in which he sought to ensure a “US backstop” for European peacekeeping forces.
