Sir Keir Starmer will push partner nations to provide Ukraine with more extended-range weaponry to strike Moscow's positions during talks in the UK capital on the upcoming Friday.

Sir Keir is set to welcome Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "alliance of supportive nations", consisting of over twenty of supporting nations who have committed to offer the Ukrainian government security guarantees once a ceasefire is brokered.

Ukraine's president has been appealing for weeks for more long-range weapons from allied countries, a step that Russia has stated would escalate the war.

Ukraine's leader is journeying from Brussels, where he met EU leaders on yesterday requesting financial support.

"The sole individual participating in current hostilities who does not want to halt the war is the Russian leader," Starmer said.

The Prime Minister will also announce that a hundred extra air defence missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces earlier than planned, as detailed in a £1.6bn deal reached between the United Kingdom and Ukraine in last spring.

International Support

Zelensky travels off the back of two diplomatic wins recently: Donald Trump's decision to enact new measures against Moscow, and EU nations consenting to support Ukraine's financial gap.

European Union stopped short of consenting an initiative to use approximately €140 billion in blocked Moscow funds to financially prop up Ukraine.

Nonetheless, the participants decided to contribute to Ukraine's "economic requirements" for the next two years.

United States furthermore disclosed measures on recently against Moscow's two largest oil companies, the state-owned company and Lukoil, as element of actions to add monetary leverage on Russia to commence peace talks.
