They will be welcomed by children from <strong>St Mary\u2019s Ukrainian School<\/strong>, which has provided refuge and education for hundreds of displaced Ukrainian children since the start of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion in 2022. A further 20 international leaders are expected to join the discussions via video link.<\/p>\n<p>During the high-level talks, the <strong>UK Prime Minister<\/strong> is expected to urge allied nations to take decisive steps to ensure Ukraine enters the winter in its strongest position yet. His appeal will focus on three key objectives:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cutting Russia\u2019s energy revenues<\/strong> by removing its oil and gas exports from global markets;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unlocking frozen Russian sovereign assets<\/strong> to channel billions of pounds into funding Ukraine\u2019s defences; and<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accelerating the supply of long-range capabilities<\/strong> to enable Ukraine to sustain its recent battlefield successes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The agenda will also include urgent discussions on how to <strong>protect Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure<\/strong>, which remains a primary target of Russian strikes. Moscow\u2019s continued bombardment of critical facilities has left millions of Ukrainians facing the prospect of power shortages, heating failures, and blackouts during the coldest months of the year.<\/p>\n<p>In a significant announcement during the meeting, the Prime Minister Keir Starmer will confirm that the <strong>UK\u2019s missile production programme<\/strong> has been <strong>accelerated<\/strong>, enabling the delivery of <strong>over 100 additional air defence missiles<\/strong> ahead of schedule. The move is designed to reinforce Ukraine\u2019s air shield as Russian drone and missile attacks intensify.<\/p>\n<p>This acceleration forms part of a <strong>\u00a31.6 billion defence deal<\/strong> struck in March between UK industry and Ukraine. The agreement provides for the production of more than <strong>5,000 Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs)<\/strong> \u2014 weapons critical to countering low-flying drones and helicopters \u2014 while simultaneously creating <strong>200 new jobs<\/strong> and safeguarding <strong>700 existing positions<\/strong> at <strong>Thales<\/strong> in Belfast.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to rapid progress in manufacturing, the delivery of an <strong>extra 140 LMMs<\/strong> has now been brought forward to ensure Ukraine receives them during the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>As leaders convene, the meeting underscores the Coalition\u2019s unity and determination to maintain pressure on Russia\u2019s war economy while ensuring Ukraine\u2019s continued resilience \u2014 both on the battlefield and on the home front \u2014 as the conflict enters another challenging winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coalition of the Willing Meets in London as Leaders Target Russia\u2019s War Economy and Boost Ukraine\u2019s Defences.\u00a0 &nbsp;
