Sir Keir Starmer to Push Allies on Advanced Missile Systems for Ukrainian Forces at UK Gathering
Britain's leader plans to press supporting countries to supply Ukraine with more advanced missile systems to target enemy locations during talks in the UK capital on Friday.
Sir Keir is set to welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside the so-called "alliance of supportive nations", including over twenty of Kyiv's partners who have agreed to offer Ukraine security guarantees once a ceasefire is negotiated.
Ukraine's president has been urging for an extended period for more advanced missile technology from Western nations, an action that Moscow has warned would intensify the hostilities.
Ukraine's leader is coming from Belgium, where he conferred with European Union officials on Thursday requesting economic assistance.
"The single figure participating in this conflict who declines to end the conflict is Vladimir Putin," the Prime Minister stated.
Britain's leader furthermore reveal that one hundred further anti-aircraft missiles will be supplied to Kyiv earlier than planned, as outlined in a multi-billion pound agreement struck between the United Kingdom and the Ukrainian government in March.
International Support
The Ukrainian president travels off the back of significant diplomatic successes in recent days: Donald Trump's decision to enact additional restrictions against Russia, and EU nations deciding to finance Kyiv's budgetary shortfall.
Sir Keir is seeking to sustain the forward movement by escalating the leverage on Russia to negotiate a conclusion to the war.
