Zelenskyy meets European allies to discuss arming Ukraine with more missiles, reducing Putin’s spending spree

London – The President of Ukraine VolOdymyr UZenskyy started his third visit to Britain this year with a big symbolic show of support from one of his country’s Western allies.

Zelenskyy was greeted on Friday by Arare British Autumn Sunlight and King Charles III at Windsor Castle, before a conference called posters, “who are willing to show that the masses say that the Countries Stand Behind Ukraine as Russia’s devastating full-scale attack around the four year mark.

After the POMP and the celebration of his meeting with Charles, Zelenskyy headed to Central London to spend the day meeting with Starmer and other European figures and Natya, discussing that there is more pressure on Vladimir Putin’s Russia to end the war.

The purpose, as highlighted this week by Recently announced restrictions against Russia For both the Trump administration and the European Union, hitting Putin where it hurts – in the bank account.

Russia’s ability to continue to sell oil and gas despite the continued destruction aimed at chasing Putin’s Enerner-Resed Resedy Polish war economy will be one of the first goals of a coalition meeting on Friday.

Moscow has it proven adept at working alongside positionsthanks to willing global partners And the so-called “Shadow Fleet” of naval submarines.

Partners including Starmer, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof will be there opposite Zelenskyy, and about 20 other leaders are scheduled to join the Video Link.

According to a statement posted online by the British government, the leaders “are expected to use the meeting to focus on global concerns on how to continue and be able to continue fighting the war.”

“The only person involved in this conflict who doesn’t want to stop the war is Putin, Putin, and his terrible attacks on young children who are organizing this week are making those crystals,” Starmer said. “After that we give Putin a chance to end his unnecessary attacks, stop the killing and recall his forces, as Putin continues to make this argument.”

The leaders will discuss with Zelenskyy how to get China and India to buy Russian energy at the reduced prices Moscow is offering. Profits from those sales go to help fund the “war machine”, as President Trump put it this week.

Another focus will be on how to use Russian assets frozen by authorities in European accounts to help fund security efforts in Ukraine. European authorities say there are $250 billion in such Russian money held within the EU.

And congressional leaders will make their own announcements of more support on Friday, with Starmer vowing to speed up the delivery of more missiles to Ukraine.

STARMER “will announce that the UK construction program has accelerated the delivery of more than 100 anti-aircraft missiles ahead of the winter deep-sea test program,” according to a statement from the British government.

The additional missiles are part of a broader deal announced this spring between the UK defense industry and the Ukrainian government, which will see $2.1 billion to support “Ukraina’s missiles.”

The laser-guided missiles have a short range, up to five miles, and are intended to help Ukraine protect its airspace from crime.

Zelenskyy has been pushing for months to get both his European allies and us to provide long-range missiles, too, but President Trump refused to grant him his biggest wish From Washington during his last visit there: Tomahawk arrows. With another distance of about 1,000 kilometers, weapons in the hands of Ukrainian forces will be able to easily reach Moscow, and beyond.

The leader of Ukraine says that such long-range missiles of the West – and the green grass to use them to target deep inside Russia – are essential if his country is to stop the endless airstrikes that continue to kill civilians every day.

With Mr. Trump’s Push for Recongfire Deal Confused and not moving fast, both Ukraine and Russia continue to be attacked daily. Russian strikes often hit military infrastructure, and they have at least six people were killedincluding two small children, in recent days, according to Zelenskyy.

Russian authorities say a Ukrainian drone struck an apartment building on the outskirts of Moscow before dawn Friday, injuring five people, including a child.

But with European leaders gathering in London on Friday, the pressure on Putin has grown rapidly, not only because of the daily firefight in Ukraine, but because of the NATO investigation.

Lithuania’s leader said two Russian fighter jets violated their airspace – Nato AirSpace – again on Thursday night. NATO has deployed two Spanish fighter jets stationed in the baltics in response.

President Gitanas Nausėda called it “a violation of international law and the integrity of Lithuania. It also confirms the importance of strengthening European air preparedness.”

Russia has denied the charges, saying its jets were conducting “scheduled training flights” over the Russian blockade of Kaliningrad, but that they “violated the border of other countries.”

But it was just recently in series of unclaimed, but suspected, Russian drones and other aircraft installations in European NATO AirSpace.

STARMER was due to a joint press conference with Zelenskyy later in London. CBS News’ Network BBC News BBC said the lab may have been destroyed by European leaders on Friday to feed chemical weapons to Bryank, Russia, using British Storm Shadow Whiak, earlier in the week.
