‘Viable’ chance for Ukraine ceasefire thanks to Trump, says UK PM
LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday said that there was now a “viable” chance for a Ukraine ceasefire, ahead of talks between United States (US) President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
“For three and a bit years this conflict has been going, we haven’t got anywhere near… a viable way of bringing it to a ceasefire,” Starmer told a meeting of European leaders.
“Now we do have that chance, because of the work that the (US) president has put in,” he told reporters on a video conference which came before Friday’s Alaska summit.
