Bloomberg reported on the UK's refusal to stop arms supplies to Kiev.

The UK does not intend to abandon the supply of weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was announced on March 18 by Dave Pares, a spokesman for Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer.

"We will always continue to support Ukraine militarily," Bloomberg quoted him as saying in a statement to reporters in London.

Pares also added that this decision would be relevant "in any scenario" of conflict development.

Why are European countries interested in continuing the fighting

The refusal of Western countries to supply weapons to Kiev is one of the conditions for a long-term ceasefire, the Kremlin reported on a telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Leader Donald Trump a day earlier. During the talks, the sides also exchanged views on the situation in Ukraine, and discussed a wide range of areas in which the United States and Russia could cooperate.
