British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday that Ukraine needs “more support now” and confirmed that the UK will send additional air defence missiles in the coming weeks.
Speaking during a “Coalition of the Willing” call attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, Starmer said, “We need to keep supporting Ukraine’s defence. This is about their sovereignty and their security.”
Starmer added that a permanent end to the Russia-Ukraine war, along with a just and lasting peace, remains a guiding principle for coalition partners. Referring to a U.S. peace plan for Ukraine, which was “improved” following talks in Geneva between Washington and Kyiv delegations, he said, “Progress is being made, and the majority of the text appears to be acceptable to Volodymyr.”
He stressed that partners must continue supporting negotiations and be clear about the fundamental principles.
“Ukraine should be able to defend itself in the future, its sovereignty must be maintained, and matters concerning its future must be decided by Ukraine alone,” Starmer said.
The prime minister also highlighted the need to prepare “robust security guarantees,” emphasising that Ukraine requires reassurance that Russia cannot intervene again.
Starmer reiterated that partners must continue supporting Ukraine’s defence and confirmed that the UK will deliver more air defence missiles in the coming weeks.
“This is about their sovereignty and defence. But it is also our position, because this concerns European freedom, our values, and our security,” he said.
