British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is convening a second virtual summit of the 'coalition of the willing' to address the Ukraine war. The meeting aims to explore military and financial support for Ukraine while gauging potential peacekeeping efforts. Starmer emphasizes the need to monitor any ceasefire seriously if Russia agrees, but also urges increased economic pressure if they do not comply. Approximately 25 countries, excluding the U.S., will participate, reflecting a shift in U.S. policy since President Trump took office again, following his contentious interaction with Ukraine's President Zelenskyy.
If Russia finally comes to the table, then we must be ready to monitor a ceasefire to ensure it is a serious, and enduring peace.
We need to strain every sinew to ramp up economic pressure on Russia to secure an end to this war.
Around 25 countries are expected to be involved in the call, including European partners, and Ukraine.
The change of approach relative to that taken by Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden, became particularly notable after Trump clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
