Keir Starmer: Putin is dragging his feet over 30-day Ukraine ceasefire'
Briefly

Keir Starmer criticized Vladimir Putin for delaying ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine during a summit of 30 international leaders. Meanwhile, military chiefs in London are preparing for stronger plans to support a peace deal, emphasizing Ukraine's need for security. Starmer mentioned commitments for peacekeeping and tougher sanctions against Russia, urging that serious talks must begin. This comes after a proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire was rejected by the Kremlin, prompting concerns from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy about Russia's intentions to strengthen military positions.
So this is the moment: let the guns fall silent, let the barbaric attacks on Ukraine once and for all stop, and agree to a ceasefire now.
Sooner or later, he is going to have to come to the table and engage in serious discussions.
I think the delaying of the process is exactly because of what I said. They want to improve their situation on the battlefield.
Those who took part in the virtual summit included the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
