The British Foreign Minister expressed a sense of guilt over the altercation between Zelensky and Trump.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy admitted on August 2 that he should have better prepared Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a meeting with American leader Donald Trump.

"Why didn't I do more to support our Ukrainian colleagues in preparing for their meeting? I was a little hard on myself. But I still felt guilty," he said in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.

According to the newspaper, the day after the incident, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer contacted Zelensky and invited him to visit London.
