Sir Keir Starmer plans to press supporting countries to deliver Ukraine with more advanced missile systems to target Russian targets during talks in London on this Friday.

Britain's leader plans to receive Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "alliance of supportive nations", comprising over twenty of Kyiv's partners who have committed to offer the Ukrainian government security guarantees once a ceasefire is arranged.

"The single figure involved in current hostilities who does not want to end the conflict is Vladimir Putin," Starmer stated.

Sir Keir will also reveal that 100 extra air defense systems will be supplied to Kyiv sooner than scheduled, as outlined in a substantial financial arrangement reached between the United Kingdom and Kyiv in March.

International Support

The Ukrainian president travels following significant diplomatic successes in recent days: the US President's move to implement new measures against the Russian government, and European countries consenting to fund Ukraine's financial gap.
