LONDON - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will push other global leaders to pledge more support for Ukraine in its defence against the Russian invasion when he attends international summits next week, his office said on Saturday.
He will then travel to Tokyo to announce a defence and technology collaboration with Japan, before meeting leaders of other Group of Seven advanced economies in Hiroshima, starting on Friday. Britain on Thursday became the first country to start supplying Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles, which will allow its forces to hit Russian troops and supply dumps deep behind the front lines.
Mr Sunak will also press allies to counter hostile states using “economic coercion” - an oblique reference to China.
