British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hosted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Dutch PM Mark Rutte at Downing Street in London on Monday, as the trio visited a Royal Air Force (RAF) base to meet members of the UK armed forces.
As per PTI report, Downing Street said it marks the start of a week of “focussed engagement” with world leaders to mobilise a global outcry at the “atrocities of Russian aggression” into practical support for Ukraine.
Addressing reporters following the RAF visit and talks with the visiting leaders, Johnson said: “This is the moment for Ukraine’s friends to create a coalition of humanitarian, economic and defensive military support.”
The three Prime Ministers convened for separate bilateral meetings and a joint trilateral meeting to discuss the next steps to counter attacks ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukrainian cities.
“In the time since Russia’s illegal and brutal assault we have seen the world stand up tall in solidarity with the indomitable people of Ukraine,” said Johnson.
