UK, France, and Ukraine plan to pursue peace deal
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the UK and France will collaborate with Ukraine on a peace deal. This plan will later be discussed with US President Donald Trump. Starmer aims to facilitate dialogue rather than escalate tensions. The announcement follows a recent tense meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where Trump expressed frustration over Zelenskyy's approach to peace with Russia. The meeting raised concerns about US-Ukraine relations. Zelenskyy is visiting the UK, where he received a warm welcome from Starmer. The two leaders held a 75-minute private discussion before Zelenskyy is set to meet King Charles and attend a defense summit in London.
