The British prime minister said Tuesday that Ukraine needs “more support now,” saying Britain will send more air defense missiles in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

“We need to keep supporting Ukraine\u2019s defence and it\u2019s the line of their sovereignty and their defence,” Keir Starmer said at a Coalition of the Willing call with the attendance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well a European leaders.<\/p>\n

According to the remarks shared by the British government in a written format, Starmer said a permanent end to the Russia-Ukraine war, along with a just and lasting peace, are the guiding principles for the partners.<\/p>\n

Touching on a US peace plan for Ukraine, which was “improved” following talks Sunday between Washington and Kyiv delegations in Geneva, the premier said he welcomed the fact that “progress is being made.”<\/p>\n

“So, I do think we\u2019re moving in a positive direction \u2013 and indications today that in large part the majority of the text looks as though, Volodymyr is indicating, could be accepted,” he noted.<\/p>\n

He said as Ukrainian partners, they need to continue to support the negotiations and “be really clear about the fundamental principles.”<\/p>\n

Starmer underlined that Ukraine should be able to defend itself in the future — its sovereignty must be maintained and matters about Ukraine, and its future must be determined by Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“They are the driving principles of this Coalition of the Willing; driving principles \u2013 to my mind \u2013 in negotiations,” added Starmer.<\/p>\n

He also pointed out the need to work on preparing “robust security guarantees,” stressing that Ukraine needs “real reassurance that Russia cannot come again in the future.”<\/p>\n

He reiterated that partners need to keep supporting Ukraine\u2019s defense and noted that the UK will deliver more air defense missiles in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the line of their sovereignty and their defence. But it\u2019s also our line as well because this is about European freedom, our values, and our security,” he noted.<\/p>\n
