U.S., UK agree to step up pressure on Russia – Starmer

U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed the urgent need to increase pressure on Russia in order to end the war in Ukraine.

Starmer said this at a joint press conference with Trump following their meeting, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Starmer said he and President Donald Trump discussed how to “increase the pressure on Putin to get him to agree a peace deal that will last.”

“In recent days, Putin has shown his true face – mounting the biggest attack since the invasion began, with yet more bloodshed, yet more innocents killed, and unprecedented violations of NATO airspace. These are not the actions of someone who wants peace,” the Prime Minister emphasized.
