Keir Starmer, addressing the Commons, stressed the importance of sustained military aid to Ukraine despite potential US changes in support under Trump. He called for enhanced US security guarantees beyond a minerals deal, emphasizing the need for ongoing financial and military assistance even post-peace deal. Starmer's remarks followed a defense conference in London where he discussed a new Franco-British peace initiative and highlighted diplomatic efforts with European leaders to bolster support for Ukrainian President Zelenskyy amid fraying US-Ukraine relations.
We must keep the military aid to Ukraine flowing and keep increasing the economic pressure on Russia, the prime minister said.
Starmer insisted this would not be sufficient. We have to avoid the mistakes of the past, which is why a security guarantee is so important.
