A UK government press release dated 13 October 2026 said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was due to arrive in the UK that morning and be hosted at Downing Street by Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The release said the Prime Minister had asked ministers to draw up further sanctions, military support and fiscal packages for the coming weeks, and that deliveries of British Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs) would be accelerated. It cited £45 million of surface-to-air missiles and said £10 million of that package would be sped up for Ukraine's urgent winter needs, within a previously committed £1.6 billion for more than 5,000 LMMs over four years.

The release said the UK stood by plans to fully implement a maritime services ban on Russian LNG exports and called on partners to adopt an equivalent ban. It said Chancellor John Healey would make that case at IMF meetings in Bangkok, after the Foreign Secretary did so at the Warsaw Security Forum the previous day. The release also urged partners to press Russia to respect US calls for an energy ceasefire.

These were plans and statements reported on 13 October 2026, not confirmed outcomes.
