This morning, on the BBC with Laura Kuenssberg, Sir Keir Starmer outlined events following the breakdown of talks in the White House on Friday, as follows…
On Friday evening, the Prime Minister called President Trump and President Zelensky to determine how to repair relations, and continue to move forward with a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
On Saturday, ahead of schedule, President Zelensky arrived in the UK to a very warm greeting from the Prime Minister, as shown in the video above. Further calls took place between Sir Keir Starmer and President Macron of France, along with a call to President Trump and further discussion with President Zelensky to move things forward.
On Sunday, on the BBC with Laura Kuenssberg, ahead of the summit of European nations and EU leaders at Lancaster House in London, the Prime Minister outlined the plan to date.
Emmanuel Macron and Sir Keir Starmer, along with a “coalition of the willing”, will work with President Zelensky to determine a possible peace process, including security guarantees, and will then feed this back to President Trump, in the hope of coming to some agreement for peace.
All of this, and all other relevant discussions, will take place later at Lancaster House within the European leaders’ summit.
