UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to demonstrate his commitment to peace by agreeing to a ceasefire in Ukraine, asserting that recent responses from Russia have not been satisfactory. As planning for a ceasefire moves into the operational phase, Starmer leads a coalition of allied nations reinforcing economic pressure on Russia to secure a peace agreement. Starmer emphasized that a robust security arrangement is essential for lasting peace and warned against allowing Putin to engage in delaying tactics. With military chiefs from member nations set to convene for strategic discussions, Starmer reiterated the call for unity among allies to ensure that any potential peace deal is upheld and defended, stressing the need for a collective response should Russia fail to sign on to the ceasefire.
