Britain's leader plans to press allies to deliver Ukrainian forces with further advanced missile systems to hit Moscow's positions during discussions in the UK capital on the upcoming Friday.

Britain's leader plans to receive Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside the so-called "group of committed partners", including more than 20 of Ukraine's allies who have pledged to grant Kyiv protection commitments once fighting stops is negotiated.

Zelensky has been appealing for weeks for additional advanced missile technology from the West, an action that Russia has stated would intensify the war.

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

"The single figure involved in current hostilities who refuses to halt the war is President Putin," the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister furthermore announce that a hundred extra air defence missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces earlier than planned, as specified in a multi-billion pound agreement reached between the United Kingdom and Ukraine in spring.

Global Backing

Zelensky travels following two diplomatic wins in recent days: Washington's action to finally apply additional restrictions against the Russian government, and the European Union deciding to fund a Ukrainian budget hole.

The Prime Minister is seeking to sustain the forward movement by intensifying the influence on the Kremlin to pursue a conclusion to the conflict.

Economic Talks

Nonetheless, the leaders agreed to help support Ukraine's "economic requirements" for the upcoming biennium.
