The partners will participate in US‑led ceasefire monitoring and support the long‑term provision of armaments. The Prime Minister urged Russia’s leader to negotiate in good faith and condemned recent attacks on Ukraine, including a strike on a Kyiv hospital. He pledged continued support for Ukraine’s defence and further pressure on Russia’s oil traders.
