UK stands with Ukraine, says David Lammy ahead of Trump-Putin summit

Polls show most Ukrainians want peace but oppose concessions, fearing any truce struck by Trump and Putin may disadvantage Kyiv, as the summit approaches.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump flew on Air Force One to Anchorage, Alaska, to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
  • The summit follows the 3½-year conflict triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with the US seeking a rapid ceasefire while Ukrainians remain wary of concessions and possible land losses.
  • Ahead of the summit, UK officials affirmed their support for Ukraine, with diplomats like Andrii Sybiha praising the UK's principled stance and Defence Secretary John Healey affirming leadership in planning for ceasefire and peace.
  • Interviews with Kyiv residents revealed a generally pessimistic outlook, as technician Liubomyr Yurtsiv expressed doubt that the summit would lead to favorable results, while cleaner Tetiana Harkavenko expected the conflict to persist afterwards.
  • The summit may lead to negotiations involving territorial concessions by both sides, but Ukrainians remain cautious about any agreements that might not favor their interests, highlighting ongoing uncertainty over peace prospects.
