Starmer to Push Partner Nations on Long-Range Missiles for Ukrainian Forces at London Summit

Britain's leader plans to press partner nations to deliver Ukraine with more long-range missiles to hit enemy locations during discussions in Britain on the upcoming Friday.

Britain's leader is set to welcome Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "group of committed partners", including over twenty of Kyiv's partners who have committed to grant Ukraine security guarantees once a ceasefire is negotiated.

Ukraine's president has been appealing for weeks for more extended-range systems from Western nations, an action that Russia has stated would escalate the hostilities.

"The only person involved in the ongoing war who does not want to end the war is President Putin," Starmer remarked.

Britain's leader additionally reveal that 100 extra anti-aircraft missiles will be delivered to Ukraine earlier than planned, as outlined in a multi-billion pound agreement concluded between the United Kingdom and the Ukrainian government in last spring.

Global Backing
