He co-chaired a virtual meeting of the Coalition of the Willing this afternoon, a 10 Downing Street statement said on Thursday.
The Prime Minister updated allies on this week's engagements with other international partners and on the continued intensive work on the US-led peace plan.
"They all agreed this is a pivotal moment for Ukraine, its people, and for the security we all share across the Euro-Atlantic region," according to the statement.
President Zelenskyy updated the group on the continued Russian bombardment of Ukraine, killing innocent civilians and destroying critical infrastructure.
The leaders then discussed the significant progress made in starving Russia's war machine through coordinated sanctions and enforcement, and in stepping up support for Ukraine.
