Britain's leader is expected to urge supporting countries to deliver Ukraine with more advanced missile systems to hit Russian targets during talks in the UK capital on this Friday.

Sir Keir is set to welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside the so-called "alliance of supportive nations", consisting of more than 20 of supporting nations who have committed to provide the Ukrainian government security guarantees once fighting stops is arranged.

Zelensky has been appealing for an extended period for additional extended-range systems from allied countries, an action that Moscow has cautions would escalate the hostilities.

"The only person participating in current hostilities who refuses to stop the war is Vladimir Putin," the Prime Minister stated.

Britain's leader will also declare that a hundred further air defense systems will be supplied to Ukraine ahead of schedule, as specified in a £1.6bn deal concluded between Britain and Ukraine in last spring.

Economic Talks
