Keir Starmer plans to receive President Zelensky for discussions of the "group of committed partners"

The UK Prime Minister plans to press partner nations to supply Ukraine with further extended-range weaponry to target enemy locations during discussions in Britain on this Friday.

The prime minister will host President Zelensky alongside referred to as "coalition of the willing", comprising over twenty of Kyiv's partners who have committed to offer Kyiv protection commitments once a ceasefire is brokered.

The Ukrainian leader has been appealing for weeks for more advanced missile technology from the West, an action that the Russian government has warned would intensify the hostilities.

The Ukrainian president is journeying from Brussels, where he held talks with European representatives on the previous day requesting funding aid.

"The single figure involved in current hostilities who does not want to stop the fighting is the Russian leader," Sir Keir said.

Sir Keir will also reveal that a hundred extra air defense systems will be supplied to Kyiv ahead of schedule, as detailed in a multi-billion pound agreement reached between Britain and Ukraine in last spring.

Diplomatic Momentum

The Ukrainian president comes after important international achievements recently: the US President's move to implement new measures against Russia, and EU nations deciding to support Ukraine's financial gap.

The Prime Minister is hoping to maintain the progress by escalating the influence on Moscow to discuss a conclusion to the war.
