The prime minister will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alongside what's known as "alliance of supportive nations", comprising numerous of Kyiv's partners who have committed to grant Kyiv defense assurances once hostilities pause is arranged.

The Ukrainian leader has been urging for weeks for further advanced missile technology from allied countries, a step that Russia has cautions would escalate the hostilities.

"The single figure engaged in current hostilities who does not want to end the fighting is the Russian leader," Starmer said.

The Prime Minister will also announce that 100 extra air defense systems will be delivered to Kyiv sooner than scheduled, as detailed in a substantial financial arrangement concluded between Britain and Ukraine in last spring.

Diplomatic Momentum
