This is the best summary I could come up with:
Defence Secretary John Healey has met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with the Labour government making a new pledge on sending arms to Ukraine.
"Our commitment to stand with the Ukrainian people is absolute, as is our resolve to confront Russian aggression and pursue Putin for his war crimes.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the chief of the defence staff, said: "The recent milestone of 500,000 Russians killed or wounded is a reminder of how badly this war has gone for Russia.
Over the past year, with British help, Ukraine has driven the Russian fleet from Crimea and reopened the Black Sea for exports.
"A free and democratic Ukraine, full of promise and hope, stands in jarring contrast to Russia’s trajectory of contraction and decline, and an increasingly authoritarian future under Putin.
“By continuing to support Ukraine, and by helping to ensure Russia loses, Britain and Europe will be stronger and safer over the long term.”
