British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated the war in Ukraine could conclude immediately if Russian President Vladimir Putin withdraws his troops. This contrasts sharply with former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent call with Putin, during which they agreed to commence peace negotiations. Starmer emphasized that Ukraine must be an integral part of any peace talks and urged for a strong Ukrainian position. Meanwhile, former U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized Trump's peace plan, alleging it emboldens Putin and other authoritarian leaders.
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.”
