UK officials report interest from about 20 countries in joining a coalition to support Ukraine, defined by Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a summit. This coalition, led by the UK and France, aims to uphold ceasefires amid Russia's war in Ukraine, although not all members may send troops. Russia's foreign minister opposed the move, asserting it could constitute direct NATO involvement. Starmer warned against passively awaiting a deal between Ukraine and Russia, stressing the importance of maintaining Ukraine's position, especially in negotiation contexts.
About 20 countries are interested in joining a 'coalition of the willing' to help Ukraine, an initiative spearheaded by UK and France.
Keir Starmer emphasized it would be a 'big mistake' to assume that a deal between Ukraine and Russia could be solely awaited.
