European leaders’ summit group photo at Lancaster House, London.
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.
Outlining his approach, he pledged to develop a concrete plan for Ukraine, which he intends to discuss with the United States to ensure coordinated action.
Today’s talks, he said, will center on delivering a “just and enduring peace” while addressing continued Russian aggression. “Even while Russia talks about peace, they are continuing their relentless attacks,” he warned.
