Starmer to Urge Allies on Advanced Missile Systems for Ukraine at London Summit

The UK Prime Minister plans to press allies to supply Ukraine with further advanced missile systems to target Moscow's positions during talks in Britain on the upcoming Friday.

Sir Keir plans to receive Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside the so-called "coalition of the willing", including over twenty of Kyiv's partners who have committed to grant the Ukrainian government defense assurances once hostilities pause is brokered.

"The sole individual participating in current hostilities who refuses to end the fighting is President Putin," Sir Keir said.

Britain's leader will also announce that one hundred further anti-aircraft missiles will be provided to Ukraine sooner than scheduled, as outlined in a £1.6bn deal reached between the United Kingdom and Ukraine in March.

International Support

Zelensky travels following two diplomatic wins in recent days: the US President's move to implement new measures against the Russian government, and EU nations consenting to support Ukraine's financial gap.
