Starmer Proposes Ukraine Peace Deal via ‘Coalition of the Willing’
Following a summit of EU leaders, Sir Keir Starmer proposed a coalition of European allies to bolster a potential Ukraine peace deal. This coalition, though not yet formed, would involve intensified planning with “those willing” to contribute militarily, including the UK providing ground troops and air support. The initiative, spurred by concerns over US reliability after recent White House pronouncements, aims to ensure a strong European defense of any peace agreement. Significant new UK financial and military aid to Ukraine was also announced, alongside a pledge to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.
