Starmer proposes coalition to expedite Ukraine peace efforts
Keir Starmer has called for a "coalition of the willing" to help end the war in Ukraine. He announced that the UK and France are developing a new peace plan to present to the United States. Starmer's comments follow a recent disagreement between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which resulted in no deal being signed. He emphasized the need for European countries to increase defense spending and coordination. The UK and France are leading efforts to create a more agile response to the conflict. Starmer believes that a coalition of willing countries can move faster than waiting for all European nations to agree.
