Following a meeting with world leaders, Starmer has announced a £1.6bn financing package to Ukraine, the creation of a “Coalition of the Willing”, and that a deal to be presented to Trump. He has emphasised:
- The importance of the US’s participation in the coalition
- His trust in the US as an ongoing ally to Europe
- His confidence that a deal will be reached
Here are the four points the bbc is reporting, which are completely different to yours. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cn5220x56pqt
To keep military aid flowing into Ukraine while the war is ongoing, and increase economic pressure on Russia
Any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty and security, and Ukraine must be at the table for any peace talks
In the event of a peace deal, European leaders will aim to deter any future invasion by Russia into Ukraine
There would be a “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine and guarantee peace in the country
Thank you for posting these and yes absolutely, this is the overarching four-point strategy that he outlined.
I was summarising the points specifically with respect his comments on Trump and the USA’s involvement, perhaps I should have made that clear.
Yes, you should have. Several people in here seem to be reacting to the mistaken idea that Europe’s only focus is Trump.
It’s a very odd way to frame it.
This is almost entirely a European plan.
