TL;DR Summary

The UK and the Netherlands have agreed to form an "international coalition" to help Ukraine procure F-16 fighter jets, according to a statement from Downing Street. The leaders also discussed the importance of allies providing long-term security assistance to Ukraine to deter future attacks and tackling people trafficking.

However, both countries will have to persuade the US if Ukraine is to receive F-16s.
