"The Prime Minister spoke to President Biden, Prime Minister Draghi, President Macron and Chancellor Merkel this evening about Ukraine.

They emphasized the need to provide a united front in the face of Russian threats and hostility," a Downing Street spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the leaders called on Russia to de-escalate tensions and reaffirmed their support for Ukraine's territorial integrity.
"The Prime Minister reiterated the points he made to President (Vladimir) Putin when they spoke earlier this year in this regard, and which the Foreign Secretary also made to her Russian counterpart last week," according to the statement.
"The Prime Minister said the UK would continue to use all the economic and diplomatic tools at its disposal to prevent any Russian aggression against Ukraine. The leaders agreed to speak again following President Biden's conversation with President Putin tomorrow (December 7)," the spokesperson said.
