Britain backs Ukraine in seeking strong US security guarantees for any peace deal with Russia
Donald Trump criticized Kyiv and European approaches to ending the Russia-Ukraine war, arguing against Ukraine's stance on peace talks and Europe's reliance on the US. He accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting peace while relying on American support. Britain supported Ukraine's call for strong US security guarantees to ensure Russia adheres to any peace deal. Trump also criticized Europe for its perceived weakness in stating their inability to handle the situation without the US. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the necessity of US involvement in a security settlement, warning of severe risks for Russia if it breaches any agreement. Trump halted a deal involving Ukraine's natural resources, and the Kremlin accused Zelenskyy of not seeking peace, claiming European peacekeepers would exacerbate the conflict.
