Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has insisted support for Ukraine has not faltered, as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban today blocked the European Union from approving a financial aid package worth about £43bn for Ukraine.

Sunak said he spoke to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine in recent days and assured him of the UK's continued support.

The SBU disclosed thwarted plans to target Zelensky and other high-ranking officials. This follows previous attempts, including a 2023 arrest of a woman and a Polish man's alleged involvement. Zelensky also narrowly escaped a missile strike during a visit to Odessa.

Ukrainian intelligence agents have successfully thwarted a Russian plan to assassinate Volodymyr Zelensky. The SBU State Security Service of Ukraine revealed that they apprehended Russian agents embedded within the Ukrainian state guard service. These agents were allegedly plotting to kidnap and assassinate the president along with other high-ranking government officials. According to Vasyl Malyuk, the Head of the SBU, the failed assassination attempt was intended as a "gift" to Vladimir Putin just before his upcoming inauguration on Tuesday. The SBU stated that they arrested two suspected "moles" who they believe were recruited by Russia prior to the invasion
