Sir Keir Starmer's planned meeting with US President Donald Trump focuses on Russia's war in Ukraine, advocating for a European defense force on the ground to maintain peace. This initiative has drawn criticism from Russia, which accuses Starmer of attempting to derail peace talks. Influential figures like former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov and Russian officials have expressed concern about the UK's role in prolonging the conflict. Starmer, determined to secure lasting peace, remains undeterred by potential Russian opposition to European peacekeepers in Ukraine.
Kier Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and German chancellor-elect Friedrich Merz now represent an anti-Trump bloc. Its task is to derail Trump's peace initiatives.
Britain is unique in that it does many things under the radar rather than overtly. And it holds major leverage on Ukraine's special services and military units.
It's worth noting though that this initiative was put forward by Great Britain, not an EU-member state, and France but was never supported by the others in the EU.
I'm not answering to Putin. I'm considering how we preserve peace in Europe and how we get a lasting peace in Ukraine.
