The UK Prime Minister to Push Partner Nations on Long-Range Missiles for Ukrainian Forces at London Conference

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to urge partner nations to provide Ukraine with additional long-range missiles to target Moscow's positions during discussions in the UK capital on Friday.

The prime minister plans to receive Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "coalition of the willing", including more than 20 of Kyiv's partners who have pledged to provide Ukraine protection commitments once a ceasefire is brokered.

Ukraine's president has been pleading for several weeks for additional advanced missile technology from allied countries, a step that the Russian government has cautions would worsen the conflict.

The Ukrainian president is travelling from Brussels, where he conferred with EU leaders on yesterday seeking funding aid.

"The sole individual engaged in current hostilities who declines to halt the war is Vladimir Putin," Sir Keir stated.

The Prime Minister will also reveal that one hundred extra air defense systems will be delivered to Ukrainian forces earlier than planned, as detailed in a substantial financial arrangement struck between the United Kingdom and the Ukrainian government in spring.

International Support

The Ukrainian president arrives off the back of significant diplomatic successes in recent days: Donald Trump's decision to enact new measures against Russia, and the European Union agreeing to fund Ukraine's financial gap.
