"The sole individual participating in the ongoing war who refuses to end the fighting is the Russian leader," Starmer stated.

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

International Support

Ukraine's leader comes off the back of significant diplomatic successes in recent days: Washington's action to enact further sanctions against the Russian government, and EU nations deciding to fund Ukraine's financial gap.

Budgetary Negotiations
