UK, France and Ukraine agree to work on ceasefire plan for Russia's war in Ukraine
Briefly

Britain, France, and Ukraine are collaborating on a ceasefire plan to be presented to the United States, as stated by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This initiative follows U.S. President Donald Trump's recent criticisms of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Starmer aims to foster peace talks, emphasizing the need for a strong agreement that can be upheld. The summit is crucial for strengthening defenses in Europe and may see discussions about creating a European military force to support Ukraine. Trust in Trump regarding peace efforts contrasts with skepticism towards Putin, highlighting complex international dynamics.
We've now agreed that the United Kingdom, along with France and possibly one or two others, will work with Ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting, and then we'll discuss that plan with the United States.
Do I believe Donald Trump when he says he wants lasting peace? The answer to that is yes.
If there is to be a deal, if there is to be a stopping of the fighting, then that agreement has to be defended, because the worst of all outcomes is that there is a temporary pause and then Putin comes again.
The London meeting has taken on greater importance in defending the war-torn ally and shoring up the continent's defenses.
