The UK Prime Minister will push supporting countries to supply Ukraine with additional extended-range weaponry to hit Russian targets during talks in Britain on Friday.

The prime minister is set to welcome President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "alliance of supportive nations", including numerous of Kyiv's partners who have agreed to grant Ukraine security guarantees once a ceasefire is arranged.

Ukraine's president has been urging for an extended period for more extended-range systems from Western nations, a move that the Russian government has stated would escalate the hostilities.

Ukraine's leader is coming from Belgium, where he met EU leaders on Thursday pursuing funding aid.

"The single figure involved in this conflict who does not want to halt the fighting is President Putin," Sir Keir stated.

The Prime Minister will also reveal that one hundred further air defence missiles will be provided to Kyiv earlier than planned, as outlined in a multi-billion pound agreement reached between Britain and Kyiv in spring.

Global Backing
