The United Kingdom Foreign Minister, David Cameron visited Kyiv and said Britain intends to gather Ukraine's backers next month to raise funds for its under-pressure forces.

His visit comes after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last week announced £500 million in additional military funding for Kyiv with the goal of reaching £3 billion per year.

Cameron met President Volodymyr Zelensky and other senior Ukrainian officials to detail Britain's "unequivocal support" in the form of precision-guided bombs, and air defence missiles and equipment for 100 mobile air defence teams.

He therefore revealed that the UK intends to bring international partners together next month to attract additional contributions to the International Fund for Ukraine to meet Ukraine's urgent capability requirements.

Ukraine has consistently demanded more air defence equipment from its Western allies as its outnumbered and outgunned forces struggle to fend off Russia during the war now in its third year.
