"The sole individual participating in current hostilities who refuses to end the war is Vladimir Putin," Sir Keir stated.
Sir Keir furthermore declare that 100 additional air defence missiles will be delivered to Ukrainian forces ahead of schedule, as detailed in a substantial financial arrangement struck between the UK and the Ukrainian government in March.
