Opening the summit in London, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer—flanked by French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—emphasized the urgency of the moment, describing it as a “once-in-a-generation” challenge for Europe’s security.
Reflecting on Zelenskyy’s warm welcome at 10 Downing Street the previous evening, Starmer reaffirmed unwavering support: “We are all with you, with Ukraine, for as long as it takes.”
He stressed that securing a favorable outcome for Ukraine is not just a moral imperative but essential for the security of all nations present. Starmer also noted his discussions with Baltic leaders, highlighting their critical role in the broader strategy.
