London, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) — European leaders and the head of NATO pledged to tighten sanctions against Russia and speed up supplies of long-range weapons and air defense systems to Ukraine on Friday after a meeting of the "coalition of the willing."

Following the meeting, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other European leaders held a joint press conference. They stated that the coalition intends to gradually remove Russian oil and gas from the global market and use frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine's reconstruction.

According to Starmer, the UK took the lead in imposing sanctions on Russian oil and gas, followed by the US and EU. He announced that the UK plans to supply Ukraine with over 5,000 light multi-purpose missiles, 140 of which will be delivered ahead of schedule.

On Thursday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that EU countries had approved the 19th package of sanctions against Russia. For the first time, they target the country's gas sector, the backbone of the Russian economy.
