Starmer to Push Supporting Countries on Extended-Range Weaponry for Ukrainian Forces at London Conference
Britain's leader will push partner nations to deliver Ukrainian forces with further extended-range weaponry to target enemy locations during a meeting in London on this Friday.
Britain's leader will host Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "coalition of the willing", including numerous of Kyiv's partners who have pledged to grant the Ukrainian government security guarantees once a ceasefire is negotiated.
Zelensky has been pleading for an extended period for more long-range weapons from the West, a move that Moscow has cautions would escalate the war.
President Zelensky is journeying from Brussels, where he met European Union officials on yesterday requesting economic assistance.
"The only person involved in this conflict who refuses to stop the war is President Putin," Starmer stated.
Sir Keir will also reveal that a hundred additional anti-aircraft missiles will be provided to Ukraine earlier than planned, as outlined in a multi-billion pound agreement struck between Britain and Ukraine in last spring.
Global Backing
Zelensky travels following two diplomatic wins in recent days: the US President's move to implement new measures against Moscow, and the European Union consenting to fund Kyiv's budgetary shortfall.
The Prime Minister is seeking to maintain the momentum by increasing the influence on the Kremlin to pursue a conclusion to the war.
