Description:

The UK will send hundreds more short-range missiles to Ukraine, it was announced ahead of a summit where Volodymyr Zelensky asked for authorisation to strike targets deep inside Russia with Western-supplied weapons.

The Ukrainian president made another impassioned plea for further military support during the opening stages of the summit at the Ramstein air base in Germany on Friday.

He said the eastern region of Donetsk, where Kyiv's forces are facing Russian attacks, in particular depended on the swift delivery of aid.
