Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office has said that he has postponed all his upcoming foreign visits amid a new Russian offensive.

Mr Zelenskyy cancelled all foreign visits “that were planned for the coming days”, his office said on Wednesday on Telegram.

The head of state instructed his team to reschedule the visits.

“We are grateful to our partners for understanding,” the announcement said.

Mr Zelenskyy had been expected to visit Spain, and perhaps Portugal, later this week.
