Summary

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that Britain and France will develop a Ukraine peace plan independent of US-Russia talks, following Donald Trump’s hostile meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Starmer coordinated with French President Emmanuel Macron and other allies to support Ukraine and repair strained ties with Washington.

Meanwhile, the UK signed a £2.3bn loan deal to fund Ukrainian arms purchases.

Starmer emphasized the need for American cooperation and expressed skepticism about Vladimir Putin’s commitment to any agreement.

    It was sarcasm, you can’t negotiate peace with just the one side. What Trump attempted was always considered moronic by everybody, except Putin and Trump. Obviously Putin is super happy if USA ends support of Ukraine. He was never really interested in the peace talks anyway, it’s just for show.

    But despite is being sarcasm, Putin is a wanted war criminal, which does raise questions about his legitimacy.
