"In recent days, Putin has shown his true face mounting the biggest attack since the invasion began, with yet more bloodshed, yet more innocents killed, and unprecedented violations of NATO airspace,"
"These are not the actions of someone who wants peace. So we've discussed today how we can build our defenses to further support Ukraine, and decisively increase the pressure on Putin to get him to agree a peace deal that will last,"
"He's let me down. He's really let me down,"
Keir Starmer and Donald Trump met at Chequers to discuss increased support for Ukraine and measures to pressure Russia to end the war. Starmer characterized recent Russian actions as the biggest attacks since the invasion, with greater bloodshed, civilian deaths, and violations of NATO airspace. The leaders agreed on strengthening defenses, increasing pressure on Vladimir Putin to secure a lasting peace deal, and coordinating responses on Gaza, humanitarian aid, and hostage releases. A prior Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska has not produced promised talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while Russian strikes have intensified and Trump tied sanctions to energy and tariff conditions.
