"The single figure involved in current hostilities who declines to end the fighting is Vladimir Putin," Starmer stated. The Prime Minister will also declare that a hundred further air defence missiles will be delivered to Kyiv earlier than planned, as detailed in a £1.6bn deal struck between Britain and Kyiv in spring.
