The UK Prime Minister to Push Partner Nations on Extended-Range Weaponry for Ukraine at London Summit
Britain's leader will push partner nations to deliver Ukraine with further extended-range weaponry to strike Moscow's positions during talks in London on this Friday.
Sir Keir plans to receive President the Ukrainian head of state alongside the so-called "group of committed partners", including numerous of Ukraine's allies who have pledged to offer Kyiv security guarantees once fighting stops is arranged.
Zelensky has been urging for weeks for further advanced missile technology from Western nations, a move that Russia has warned would worsen the hostilities.
Ukraine's leader is coming from the EU capital, where he met European Union officials on yesterday seeking funding aid.
"The single figure participating in current hostilities who declines to stop the war is Vladimir Putin," Starmer said.
Sir Keir will also declare that 100 extra air defence missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces sooner than scheduled, as outlined in a multi-billion pound agreement reached between Britain and Ukraine in last spring.
Global Backing
Zelensky arrives after significant diplomatic successes this week: Donald Trump's decision to finally apply additional restrictions against Russia, and EU nations consenting to finance Ukraine's financial gap.
Britain's leader is seeking to continue the progress by increasing the pressure on Moscow to discuss an end to the hostilities.

"And his horrific attacks on innocent children in a daycare in recent days make that crystal clear," he stated further.
Two children were included in at least seven fatally wounded in multiple enemy assaults on Ukrainian territory, which targeted a daycare center in the important metropolitan area Kharkiv.
Budgetary Negotiations
The Prime Minister will discuss with Western allies on how to withdraw Russian oil and gas off the global market.
They will furthermore discuss utilizing seized Moscow funds to supply Kyiv with economic assistance, although the proposal faced divided opinions and regulatory obstacles at the EU conference on Thursday.
