Sir Keir Starmer to Press Partner Nations on Advanced Missile Systems for Ukraine at UK Gathering

Britain's leader will push allies to provide Ukrainian forces with further long-range missiles to target Russian targets during talks in the UK capital on the upcoming Friday.

The prime minister will host President the Ukrainian head of state alongside the so-called "coalition of the willing", comprising more than 20 of Kyiv's partners who have agreed to provide Kyiv protection commitments once fighting stops is arranged.

The Ukrainian leader has been appealing for an extended period for additional long-range weapons from allied countries, an action that the Russian government has cautions would intensify the war.

The Ukrainian president is coming from Belgium, where he conferred with EU leaders on the previous day pursuing financial support.

"The only person involved in this conflict who does not want to stop the war is Vladimir Putin," the Prime Minister said.

Sir Keir will also reveal that a hundred further anti-aircraft missiles will be supplied to Kyiv sooner than scheduled, as detailed in a multi-billion pound agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and the Ukrainian government in March.

International Support
