What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorUkraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is due to meet the British prime minister, Andy Burnham, at Downing Street, according to the BBC.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDoes this change anything for somebody asleep in Ohio right now?

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNot directly tonight. The BBC's angle is that the meeting signals continued Western support for Ukraine in the war.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA signal. What does a signal look like, exactly?

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMostly two flags and a handshake on the front step. I have seen worse signals, and they usually involved a coup.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd what gets agreed once the door closes?

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNobody knows yet. The door will be photographed, and that is the public part.
