Ukraine attacks a Russian explosives factory in Tambov. Just four days before Donald Trump's arrival at the White House, Keir Starmer has shown support for Ukraine on his first visit to Kiev as the British Prime Minister.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Ukraine Thursday with a pledge to help guarantee the country’s security for a century, days before Donald Trump is sworn in as U.S. president.
