The prime minister will host Ukrainian President the Ukrainian head of state alongside what's known as "alliance of supportive nations", consisting of more than 20 of Ukraine's allies who have agreed to grant the Ukrainian government security guarantees once fighting stops is brokered.

Zelensky has been appealing for an extended period for more advanced missile technology from the West, a step that the Russian government has warned would intensify the hostilities.

"The only person involved in this conflict who does not want to halt the conflict is Vladimir Putin," Sir Keir stated.

The Prime Minister additionally reveal that 100 additional air defence missiles will be provided to Ukrainian forces sooner than scheduled, as outlined in a £1.6bn deal reached between Britain and Ukraine in spring.

Global Backing

However, the delegates agreed to help support Ukraine's "financial needs" for the coming 24 months.

America additionally revealed measures on midweek against Russia's biggest oil companies, Rosneft Oil and Lukoil, as part of efforts to add economic pressure on Moscow to enter peace talks.
