British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday that the next key step in resolving the war in Ukraine is a meeting in Geneva, where U.S., Ukrainian and European national security advisers will advance the U.S.-led 28-point peace proposal.
“Well, the plan, the 28-point plan … has a number of important elements which are essential to a just and lasting peace, and that’s what we all want.” Starmer added.
Speaking from the sidelines of the G20 summit in Johannesburg, he told reporters the UK convened a group of “like-minded leaders from the Coalition of the Willing” to coordinate this afternoon and pointed to tomorrow’s Geneva meeting as critical, and stressed that the Ukrainians must be at the heart of any peace deal:
“All matters about Ukraine must be determined in the end by Ukraine, and that’s why we’re talking very regularly with the Ukrainians.”
He added his expectation to speak again with U.S. President Donald Trump in the coming days and confirmed frequent contact with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“One of the elements in the 28-point plan is the security guarantee from the U.S., an Article 5 guarantee … That fortifies in me the belief that what we're all trying to achieve here is a just and lasting peace, but it’ll only be just and lasting if there are security guarantees…” he noted.
The U.S. unveiled the 28-point roadmap aimed at ending the war between Ukraine and Russia, but European leaders during the G20 summit signalled that the plan requires further work and full Ukrainian involvement to be viable
