Sir Keir will host President the Ukrainian head of state alongside the so-called "coalition of the willing", comprising numerous of Ukraine's allies who have pledged to offer the Ukrainian government protection commitments once a ceasefire is negotiated.

Zelensky has been appealing for several weeks for more advanced missile technology from Western nations, a move that the Russian government has cautions would worsen the war.

Ukraine's leader is travelling from the EU capital, where he met European Union officials on the previous day seeking funding aid.

"The single figure involved in the ongoing war who refuses to end the fighting is the Russian leader," Sir Keir said.

Britain's leader furthermore reveal that one hundred extra anti-aircraft missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces ahead of schedule, as specified in a multi-billion pound agreement concluded between the UK and Ukraine in March.

Diplomatic Momentum
