UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer states that the war in Ukraine could be resolved immediately if Russian President Vladimir Putin withdraws his forces. His remarks contrast with Donald Trump's recent calls for peace negotiations, which Starmer criticizes for potentially excluding Ukraine from key decisions.
His comments are in stark contrast to Trump’s warm words about the Russian leader after the pair had a 90-minute phone call on Wednesday and agreed to start negotiations “immediately” on a peace deal.Trump said: “We each talked about the strengths of our respective nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together.
He said: “Their people are being killed and I think they have to make peace. I said that was not a good war to go into and I think they have to make peace, that’s what I think.”
