Sir Keir Starmer to Urge Allies on Long-Range Missiles for Ukrainian Forces at UK Gathering
Britain's leader will push partner nations to supply Ukrainian forces with more long-range missiles to hit Russian targets during discussions in Britain on this Friday.

"The sole individual engaged in current hostilities who does not want to halt the war is Vladimir Putin," Starmer remarked.
Britain's leader additionally announce that 100 extra air defence missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces ahead of schedule, as detailed in a £1.6bn deal struck between the UK and Ukraine in last spring.
