Richard Branson offers support to Kyiv on an historic visit
Billionaire Richard Branson has visited Kyiv, where he met with President Zelensky
Richard Branson has toured some of the sites where Russian attacks have devastated Ukraine.
He says the sights are “appalling” and describes Russia’s military presence as “an invasion”.
“My main purpose in going to Kyiv was to meet and listen to Ukrainians, to understand their fears and concerns and also to learn what business, in partnership with civil society and governments, can do to support Ukraine most effectively.”

The pair reportedly discussed assistance the billionaire can offer, and comes days after the Ukraine capital city was bombed for the first time in weeks.
Branson is the latest in a string of big names to visit the war-torn nation, and comes just a day after Sean Penn visited President Zelensky.
“In the eyes of the world and his own people, the President has emerged as a rare wartime leader who projects both unbreakable spirit and indefatigable determination to see this war through and repel the aggression.”

The Virgin Chief Executive visited in Poland, where he met with business leaders.
“The least the rest of the world can do is to give our unwavering and unconditional support until the last Russian soldier leaves Ukrainian territory,” he says.
