Summary
Andy Burnham is set to host Volodymyr Zelenskyy as European leaders move to reinforce support for Ukraine after overnight Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
600,000 people in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions were left without electricity, giving urgency to talks on near-term military, fiscal and sanctions support.
Burnham is expected to tell Zelenskyy he has asked ministers to prepare additional packages in the coming weeks.
Zelenskyy is also due to meet EU leaders on Friday during the second day of the European Council summit, widening the diplomatic push beyond London.
