Starmer calls for a clear agenda to bring Putin to the negotiating table and emphasizes support for Ukraine

In a series of striking statements, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed today, Friday, that the international coalition must remain alongside Ukraine until it enters negotiations from a position of strength, calling for a clear agenda to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the dialogue table.

Starmer said, "We must agree on freezing Russian assets and redirecting these funds to Ukraine," pointing to the importance of making collective decisions to limit funding for the Russian war machine, and continuing efforts to remove Russian oil and gas from global markets.

He also expressed his happiness at accelerating British programs to supply Ukraine with missiles, emphasizing the need to intensify military pressure on Moscow, at a time when European calls to increase military and political support for Kyiv are growing.

These statements come amid intense diplomatic moves aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, amidst rising tensions on the eastern fronts and increasing fears of the conflict's expansion.
