British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed to start separate talks on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
The British Prime Minister announced that the negotiations will be different from those between the US and Russia. This decision was taken after a series of urgent phone calls the night before.
“We have agreed that the UK will work with France, and possibly one or two other countries, with Ukraine on a plan for a cessation of hostilities, and then we will discuss that plan with the United States,” Starmer revealed.
According to the politician, the UK and France “have gone the furthest in developing this approach, and that’s why President Macron and I will be working on this plan”. At a later date, this plan will already be presented to the US.
“This does not exclude others – the more participants the better. But we need to move faster, more flexible, and I believe this will become a coalition of interested states,” Macron added.
