British Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared on Sunday that no discussions about Ukraine's future should occur without Ukraine's participation. Addressing the Scottish Labour Party conference in Glasgow, he remarked, "Nobody wants the bloodshed to continue. Nobody, least of all the Ukrainians."
Starmer's remarks precede his visit to Washington on Thursday, following French President Emmanuel Macron’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, marking three years since Russia’s war in Ukraine began.
Both leaders aim to discourage Trump from seeking a rapid ceasefire with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while ensuring Europe remains engaged and discussing military guarantees for Ukraine.
Trump recently criticised both Starmer and Macron for their handling of the situation, saying they "haven't done anything" to end the war.
Starmer emphasised the importance of standing with Ukraine, highlighting that European instability directly impacts Britain's security. He voiced support for calls for Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security, stating that Britain must be prepared to play a key role if peace forces are needed in Ukraine. He also stressed the importance of reshaping Britain's economy to ensure long-term stability.
