British Prime Minister (PM) Rishi Sunak said that any unilateral call for a ceasefire by Russia would be "totally meaningless in the current context".

"Such an invitation from Russia would be false, and it would be used by Russia to reorganize its ranks and strengthen its soldiers," Sunak added - in remarks during the Joint Expeditionary Force Leaders Summit held in the Latvian capital, Riga.

"Our collective determination is clear. We have supported and will continue to support Ukraine. This is first and foremost because their security is our security," British PM stressed.

It is worth mentioning that, the UK-led force consists of a group of 10 countries in northern Europe: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
