The Prime Minister’s official residence at No 10 Downing Street is among the buildings where a flag will fly on Sunday. “We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, including those who have made a second home here in the UK, in the face of continued Russian aggression,” a Government spokesperson said. He also met Donald Trump days after the US president spoke to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at an Alaska summit. “On Ukrainian Independence Day, Government buildings are flying the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine as a visible symbol of our unwavering support,” the Government spokesperson added. Among the buildings where a flag will be flown are the Cabinet Office at 70 Whitehall, the Treasury building at 100 Parliament Street, the Scotland Office and Wales Office, and the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence main buildings.
