We can bring you more on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s comments ahead of this morning’s virtual summit on Ukraine.
“We can’t allow President Putin to play games with President Trump’s deal,” he says in a statement.
“The Kremlin’s complete disregard for President Trump’s ceasefire proposal only serves to demonstrate that Putin is not serious about peace.”
Earlier this week, Vladimir Putin said he agreed with the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine but told a press conference that “questions” remain about the nature of a truce.
“If Russia finally comes to the table, then we must be ready to monitor a ceasefire to ensure it is a serious and enduring peace,” Starmer adds.”
If they donโt, then we need to strain every sinew to ramp up economic pressure on Russia to secure an end to this war.” (BBC)
