The UK Prime Minister to Press Supporting Countries on Advanced Missile Systems for Ukraine at London Conference

Sir Keir Starmer plans to press allies to supply Ukrainian forces with more extended-range weaponry to strike Moscow's positions during talks in the UK capital on the upcoming Friday.

The prime minister is set to welcome Ukraine's leader Zelensky alongside the so-called "coalition of the willing", including over twenty of Ukraine's allies who have pledged to offer the Ukrainian government defense assurances once hostilities pause is brokered.

The Ukrainian leader has been appealing for an extended period for additional extended-range systems from the West, an action that Moscow has warned would escalate the conflict.

"The single figure participating in this conflict who declines to end the conflict is Vladimir Putin," Starmer remarked.
