**UK and Ukraine Unite Against Russia**
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a four-point plan to help end the war in Ukraine. He says the UK will work with Ukraine to defend the country against Russia.
Starmer met with leaders from 18 countries, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The meeting was held two days after a heated argument between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump at the White House.
The four points agreed upon by the leaders are:
1. To keep sending military aid to Ukraine and to increase economic pressure on Russia.
2. Any lasting peace deal must ensure Ukraine’s independence and security, with Ukraine present at all peace talks.
3. If a peace deal is made, Ukraine’s defensive capabilities will be boosted to prevent future invasions.
4. A “coalition of the willing” will be formed to defend any peace deal in Ukraine and guarantee its success.
The UK has also promised an extra £1.6 billion to buy air defense missiles for Ukraine. This is on top of a £2.2 billion loan to provide more military aid to Ukraine, backed by profits from frozen Russian assets.
