In a significant diplomatic meeting in London, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed the urgent needs for Ukraine's defense against ongoing Russian aggression.

Though Britain supports Ukraine's right to strike certain Russian targets, its position on the deployment of long-range Storm Shadow missiles remains unchanged. No war, a spokesperson asserted, has ever been resolved by a single weapon.

Zelenskiy also engaged with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, highlighting the ongoing dialogue regarding military aid, where Rutte stressed that decisions about long-range weapons rest with individual NATO allies.
