Lord Peter Mandelson, the British ambassador to Washington, appears to have diverged from Labour's position by endorsing President Trump's proposed peace deal for Ukraine. Despite Mandelson's assertions that Ukraine should initiate a ceasefire, Labour has clarified that this viewpoint is not representative of the government's policy. The Liberal Democrat leader criticized Mandelson's comments, questioning their alignment with UK foreign policy. Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard echoed this sentiment, noting the desire for peace in Ukraine but stating that Mandelson's views do not reflect official policy, emphasizing the need for the government to secure U.S. support for Ukraine.
Lord Peter Mandelson stated that the Ukrainian President and Europe must provide their 'unequivocal backing' to President Trump's initiative for a peace deal.
Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard emphasized that while Ukrainians desire peace, Mandelson's comments do not align with the government's official stance.
