The UK Prime Minister to Press Partner Nations on Long-Range Missiles for Ukraine at London Summit
The UK Prime Minister is expected to urge partner nations to provide Ukraine with further advanced missile systems to hit Moscow's positions during talks in Britain on Friday.
Sir Keir is set to welcome Ukrainian President the Ukrainian head of state alongside the so-called "group of committed partners", comprising over twenty of Kyiv's partners who have agreed to provide the Ukrainian government protection commitments once hostilities pause is brokered.
The Ukrainian leader has been appealing for weeks for further extended-range systems from allied countries, a move that Russia has warned would worsen the conflict.
Ukraine's leader is coming from the EU capital, where he met European Union officials on Thursday pursuing economic assistance.
"The only person involved in current hostilities who refuses to end the conflict is Vladimir Putin," the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister furthermore reveal that 100 additional anti-aircraft missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces ahead of schedule, as detailed in a £1.6bn deal concluded between the United Kingdom and Ukraine in last spring.
Global Backing
Ukraine's leader arrives after significant diplomatic successes in recent days: the US President's move to enact additional restrictions against the Russian government, and the European Union consenting to finance a Ukrainian budget hole.
The Prime Minister is seeking to maintain the progress by increasing the pressure on Russia to pursue a resolution to the hostilities.

Nonetheless, the delegates agreed to assist with the country's "financial needs" for the coming 24 months.
