The Ukrainian president is travelling from the EU capital, where he conferred with European representatives on yesterday pursuing economic assistance.

"The single figure participating in the ongoing war who declines to end the conflict is President Putin," the Prime Minister remarked.

Britain's leader will also declare that 100 extra air defense systems will be provided to Kyiv earlier than planned, as detailed in a substantial financial arrangement concluded between the UK and the Ukrainian government in March.

International Support

Ukraine's leader travels following two diplomatic wins recently: Donald Trump's decision to finally apply new measures against the Russian government, and European countries agreeing to support a Ukrainian budget hole.

"And his depraved strikes on young children in a nursery this week demonstrate that crystal clear," he stated further.

Nevertheless, the participants consented to assist with Ukraine's "financial needs" for the next two years.
