According to his office, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will launch an international "plan of action" to make sure Russia's invasion of Ukraine fails, which will include a flurry of diplomatic meetings next week.
Johnson will try to rally the international community behind a "renewed and concerted effort" to end Moscow's brutal war, and it will unveil a six-point action plan on Sunday.
"We have observed an unprecedented wave of international opprobrium from across the globe in the days since Russia invaded Ukraine," Downing Street said.
"The biggest ever package of sanctions against a major economy has been imposed by nations all over the world."
Johnson is to say that Russian President Vladimir Putin "must fail and be seen to fail in this act of aggression."
"It's not enough to say we support the rules-based international order; we also have to defend it against a sustained try to rewrite the rules through military force."
On Monday, Johnson will meet with his Canadian and Dutch counterparts, Justin Trudeau as well as Mark Rutte, at Downing Street "to discuss how to translate these obligations into a concerted campaign of solidarity with Ukraine."
Johnson will meet with leaders of the Visegrad (V4) group, which includes Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, on Tuesday.
As plenty of Ukrainians flees the fighting, the prime minister's office said, "These are nations already undergoing first-hand the humanitarian crisis rapidly engulfing the European continent."
"The international community should come together under a six-point plan of action," Johnson will say the leaders.
The plan calls for the formation of an international humanitarian coalition, as well as the support of Ukraine's self-defense and the intensification of economic pressure on Putin's regime.
It will also work to prevent "creeping normalization of Russian behavior," pursue diplomatic de-escalation routes involving Ukraine, and "launch a rapid campaign to strengthen security as well as resilience across the Euro-Atlantic area."
