Leaders Urge Russia: New Deadline for Peace Progress

In a significant diplomatic move, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy have endorsed a new deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for Russia to advance peace negotiations. The leaders highlighted the necessity of overcoming Russian resistance to progress in the ongoing conflict.

After a telephone conversation, both Starmer and Zelenskiy agreed on the importance of America's intervention, stating that Russia remains the primary obstacle to achieving a sustainable peace agreement. Downing Street's spokesperson confirmed their unified stance on urging Russia to end its stalling tactics and facilitate meaningful dialogues.

This development marks a crucial moment in the international arena's efforts to bring an end to a war that has persisted for over three years, with global leaders increasingly applying pressure on Russia to fulfill its obligations towards peace.
