Britain's leader is expected to urge supporting countries to supply Ukrainian forces with further extended-range weaponry to target Moscow's positions during discussions in London on Friday.

Britain's leader is set to welcome Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky alongside the so-called "alliance of supportive nations", comprising numerous of Ukraine's allies who have pledged to grant the Ukrainian government protection commitments once hostilities pause is negotiated.

Ukraine's president has been urging for an extended period for additional advanced missile technology from allied countries, a step that the Russian government has warned would worsen the conflict.

President Zelensky is travelling from Belgium, where he met EU leaders on Thursday requesting financial support.

"The single figure participating in current hostilities who declines to stop the fighting is Vladimir Putin," the Prime Minister said.

Britain's leader will also reveal that a hundred further air defense systems will be provided to Ukraine earlier than planned, as specified in a substantial financial arrangement reached between Britain and the Ukrainian government in March.

Global Backing

Zelensky comes off the back of two diplomatic wins in recent days: Donald Trump's decision to enact new measures against the Russian government, and EU nations agreeing to finance Ukraine's financial gap.

The Prime Minister is seeking to maintain the momentum by escalating the influence on Moscow to pursue an end to the conflict.

The EU declined to approving to a proposal to employ approximately €140 billion in blocked Moscow funds to economically support the Ukrainian economy.

Nonetheless, the delegates agreed to contribute to Ukraine's "budgetary necessities" for the coming 24 months.
