Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> has said the UK\u2019s missile plan is \u201caccelerating\u201d in a bid to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia<\/a>.
Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> and the prime minister met with world leaders in the \u201ccoalition of the willing\u201d on Friday afternoon in an effort to push for long-range missiles<\/a> that can strike deep inside Russia.
Speaking at a press conference after the summit, Sir Keir said the group also discussed ways of helping protect Ukraine’s power grid from Russia’s almost daily drone and missiles attacks as winter approaches.
Mr Zelensky added Russia would aim to use the cold winter as a tool to pressure Kyiv as he urged allies to introduce sanctions against all Russian oil companies, its shadow fleet and oil terminals to disrupt Moscow’s ability to fund its war.
The Ukrainian leader was met with a ceremonial welcome<\/a> in Windsor earlier on Friday as he greeted King Charles.
It comes after US president Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Russia\u2019s two largest gas companies, Rosneft and Lukoil<\/a>, last week in a bid to entice Vladimir Putin to negotiate.
The move was praised by French president Emmanuel Macron, who called the sanctions a \u201cturning point\u201d.
Zelensky has said European leaders will \u201ccontinue working with the United States\u2019 to deliver key security guarantees for Ukraine.
In a post on X, the Ukrainian president wrote: \u201cI am grateful for the shared position on the need to further increase pressure on Russia and continue work with the United States on developing clear and reliable security guarantees for Ukraine.\u201d
A British judge on Friday sentenced five men for their roles in an arson attack in London that authorities say was masterminded by Russian<\/a> intelligence as part of a wider campaign of sabotage and disruption.
The men were involved in a plot to set fire to a warehouse in east London in March 2024 that contained satellite communication devices destined for Ukraine<\/a>.
The sentences ranged from seven to 17 years in prison.

Ukrainian forces operating behind enemy lines derailed Russia<\/a>\u2019s hopes of reconnecting the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power<\/a> station before Vladimir Putin<\/a>\u2019s birthday earlier this month, sources have claimed.
Sources told The Guardian <\/em>that they believed Russia was trying to bring power back to the plant<\/a> in time for the president\u2019s birthday on 7 October, after it lost external power in late September.
One idea that has been continually floated to help support Ukraine in its fight against Russia is a reparation loan scheme using frozen Russian assets to support Kyiv.
But the biggest tranche of those assets, some $225 billion worth, is held in Belgium, and the Belgian government is wary of using the money without firm guarantees from other EU countries.
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever insisted on Thursday that his European partners must share the risk of using billions of dollars in frozen Russian assets held in his country to help keep Ukraine\u2019s economy and war effort afloat in the coming years.

Hundreds of starving and marooned Russian troops are being killed by Ukrainian drones<\/a> in the \u201cdeath zone\u201d of the Dnipro delta<\/a>, according to a report.
The river, surrounded by low-lying marshy islands, is split between Russian control on the left bank and Ukrainian control <\/a>on the right.
At least 5,100 Russians have died in the area since January this year<\/a>, some from starvation, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
