Britain's leader is expected to urge partner nations to deliver Ukraine with further extended-range weaponry to hit Moscow's positions during discussions in London on this Friday.

Britain's leader will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside the so-called "group of committed partners", comprising more than 20 of supporting nations who have committed to grant Kyiv defense assurances once a ceasefire is arranged.

Zelensky has been urging for weeks for additional long-range weapons from allied countries, an action that Russia has stated would escalate the hostilities.

"The sole individual participating in this conflict who does not want to halt the conflict is President Putin," Sir Keir remarked.

The Prime Minister furthermore announce that one hundred additional air defense systems will be provided to Kyiv ahead of schedule, as specified in a multi-billion pound agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and Kyiv in last spring.
