UK Defence Secretary warns against jeopardizing peace in Ukraine after Trump's remarks

UK Defence Secretary John Healey warned that peace talks between the US and Russia should not overlook the ongoing war in Ukraine. He countered Donald Trump's claim that Ukraine started the conflict, emphasizing that Ukraine is fighting for its freedom. Healey urged allies to maintain military support for Ukraine to pressure Vladimir Putin into serious negotiations. This comes as Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his complaints about being excluded from talks regarding Ukraine's future. Recent discussions between US and Russian officials took place without Ukraine's involvement. Healey's comments reflect concerns among European leaders about the implications of Trump's statements on the war and future negotiations.
