British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the world is at a “crossroads of history”, commenting on the results of an international summit in London, where the leaders of Europe, Canada and Turkey discussed further steps to strengthen the security of Ukraine and the continent as a whole. This was reported by the BBC.
Following the meeting, a joint action plan was presented:
– The UK, France and other countries have agreed to work with Ukraine to create a plan to end the fighting. Once agreed, it will be discussed with the United States for joint promotion.
– The leaders of the summit agreed on four key points:
1. Ensure a continuous flow of military aid to Ukraine.
2. Guarantee Kyiv’s participation in all peace talks.
3. 3. Concentrate efforts on deterring possible future Russian invasions.
4. 4. Form a “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine and maintain peace.
– The UK has also announced that it will provide Ukraine with access to £1.6 billion (over $2 billion) to buy new missiles, which will significantly strengthen its air defence.
Starmer stressed that Europe should play a key role in any peace agreement on Ukraine, but that such a solution would not be possible without US support.
The Prime Minister also noted that the creation of a long-term security strategy for Ukraine is a critical task for all allies and stressed the importance of Western unity in countering Russian aggression.
After the summit, a series of consultations with the White House are expected to take place to coordinate positions and jointly promote the peace initiative.
Analysts are already calling the London summit one of the key political events of the year, which could lay the groundwork for a new phase of international support for Ukraine.
