London- Kiev is set to receive long-range weapons from its Western allies, described as the “coalition of the willing,” according to a statement released by London after a virtual meeting of member states on Thursday. The UK government did not disclose which countries are providing the arms or specify the types of weapons involved.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed the pledges during the video call, while French President Emmanuel Macron noted that some European nations are ready to offer Ukraine security guarantees once a peace deal with Russia is signed.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has previously considered supplying Taurus missiles, which have a 500-kilometer range and could reach Moscow from Ukraine. Earlier on Thursday, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) accused Berlin of secretly preparing a shipment of these missiles, stripped of identification marks, and claimed German troops might conduct launches due to the time required to train Ukrainian forces.

Moscow has consistently argued that Western arms deliveries only prolong the war and increase civilian suffering, with President Vladimir Putin stressing that halting military aid to Kiev remains one of Russia’s conditions for a ceasefire.
