Sir Keir plans to receive Ukrainian President the Ukrainian head of state alongside what's known as "coalition of the willing", including more than 20 of Ukraine's allies who have agreed to provide the Ukrainian government protection commitments once a ceasefire is brokered.

Ukraine's president has been urging for weeks for additional long-range weapons from the West, an action that Russia has stated would worsen the war.

Ukraine's leader is travelling from the EU capital, where he met European Union officials on the previous day requesting financial support.

"The sole individual involved in the ongoing war who declines to stop the war is the Russian leader," Starmer stated.

Britain's leader furthermore reveal that one hundred additional air defense systems will be provided to Ukrainian forces sooner than scheduled, as outlined in a substantial financial arrangement reached between the United Kingdom and the Ukrainian government in March.

Global Backing
