Keir Starmer calls out Putin and says he has Trump's support - Manchester Evening News
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and leaders from France, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine met in Kyiv on May 10, 2025, to demand Vladimir Putin sign a 30-day unconditional ceasefire within 24 hours.
- This initiative arose from a united effort by European leaders, supported by U.S. President Donald Trump, to pressure Russia to end its ongoing military actions in Ukraine.
- During the Kyiv talks, Starmer and others emphasized no alternatives remain, insisting Putin’s acceptance of peace is necessary, while threatening increased sanctions and military aid if rejected.
- Starmer emphasized that if Putin truly wants peace, now is the moment to demonstrate it, while German Chancellor Merz pledged that European leaders will do everything possible to secure peace for Ukraine, and Trump voiced his complete backing of the initiative.
- Failure to accept the ceasefire would lead to escalated sanctions targeting Russia’s economy and more military aid to Ukraine, underscoring sustained international resolve to end the conflict.
