Britain Supports U.S.-Backed Ceasefire for Ukraine
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
LONDON/BUDAPEST/KYIV (Worthy News) – Britain has made clear it supports U.S. plans for a ceasefire in war-torn Ukraine, however Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that the question of territory in his nation’s war with Russia is “complicated” and must be discussed at a later stage.
Speaking at a press briefing in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said Ukraine would never recognize the occupied territory as Russian.
He added that he wasn’t aware of what exactly U.S. and Russian officials discussed during recent talks in Moscow.
However, Britain’s Prime Minister
Keir Starmer stressed that he supports U.S. efforts for a ceasefire to end a war that is believed to have killed some 1 million people.
He said the “guns must fall silent in Ukraine.”Starmer added that military powers would meet next week as plans to secure a peace deal move to an “operational phase.”
The British prime minister added that Vladimir Putin’s “yes, but” approach to a proposed ceasefire was “not good enough,” and the Russian president would have to negotiate “sooner or later.”
He accused Putin of trying to delay peace and added it must become a reality after more than three years of war.
COALITION OF THE WILLING
Starmer spoke at a press conference in Downing Street after a video link meeting of the “coalition of the willing.”
That coalition included, besides Ukraine, the European Commission, European nations, the NATO military alliance, Canada, Ukraine, Australia, and New Zealand.
Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte addressed the Saturday meeting.
It comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Ukrainian troops in Russia’s region of Kursk to surrender.
Kyiv had hoped to keep that territory as leverage for peace talks but recently suffered setbacks.
Civilians suffer too: On Saturday, Ukraine’s largest private energy provider said overnight Russian airstrikes damaged its energy facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions.
In a statement, DTEK warned that “damages are significant” and that some consumers in both regions were left without power.
