He thanked the UK for its leadership and support, noting that he would discuss strengthening Ukraine and ensuring longterm peace and security with UK officials.
Background The UK, together with France, leads the coalition of the willing, which is working on a format to guarantee Ukraines security in the event of an end to hostilities with Russia.
It was expected that negotiations for a peaceful settlement would take place in London on 23 April at the level of the foreign ministers of five states.
However, the UK Foreign Office later announced that the ministerial talks had been postponed and meetings would now be held at the level of senior officials.
In particular, France and Germany will be represented by diplomatic advisers to the leaders of these countries.
Earlier reports indicated that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio would not attend the talks.
Instead, US President Donald Trumps special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is expected to participate.
