Zelensky has been appealing for weeks for more advanced missile technology from the West, an action that the Russian government has warned would intensify the conflict.

President Zelensky is journeying from Belgium, where he conferred with EU leaders on the previous day seeking economic assistance.

"The sole individual participating in the ongoing war who does not want to end the fighting is Vladimir Putin," Starmer stated.

The Prime Minister will also reveal that a hundred extra anti-aircraft missiles will be supplied to Kyiv sooner than scheduled, as specified in a £1.6bn deal reached between the UK and Kyiv in spring.

Global Backing
