Starmer, Macron, and Merz Unite for Ukraine Peace Efforts

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer engaged with European leaders on a strategic video call ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's U.S. visit. The discussion focused on the next steps following President Donald Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, making strides towards resolving the conflict in Eastern Europe.

During the coalition meeting, Starmer reinforced Europe's unwavering support for Ukraine, praising Trump's diplomatic efforts in seeking peace. He noted the importance of including President Zelensky in future talks, emphasizing that Ukraine's pathway to peace should not be determined without his involvement.

As indicated by the coalition, no external limitations should be imposed on Ukraine's national decisions. With increased sanctions targeting the Russian economy, the alliance strengthens its resolve against Russia's military actions, hoping to deter further aggression and support Ukraine's integration with international alliances like the EU and NATO.
