The UK will keep giving military aid to Ukraine despite Vladimir Putin demanding Western arms supplies to Kyiv come to a halt.
The Telegraph understands that there has been no shift in the Foreign Office position and British lethal and humanitarian aid to Ukraine will continue.
The Russian president said on Tuesday that a comprehensive ceasefire would only work if foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine came to an end.
The European Union said this morning it would continue sending military aid to Ukraine, claiming Russia was not ready to make any concessions.
βWhat Russia wants is that Ukraine will let all the guards down,β Kaja Kallas, the EUβs top diplomat, told reporters in Brussels.
Germany plans to release an extra β¬3bn in military aid for Ukraine in a major breakthrough after Olaf Scholz, the outgoing Chancellor, previously blocked a new financial package.
