Starmer welcomes Zelensky to Downing Street ahead of Putin-Trump meeting

  • In London at 10 Downing Street, Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, with Starmer welcoming him with a red carpet and embrace.
  • Amid anticipation for high-stakes talks in Alaska, Starmer said they reviewed Wednesday’s meeting and saw a chance for progress if Putin acts seriously about peace.
  • U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said `As I've said personally to President Trump, for three and a bit years this conflict has been going on and we haven't got anywhere near the prospect of actually a viable solution, a viable way, of bringing it to a ceasefire. And now we do have that chance because of the work that the President has put in,` highlighting cautious optimism before Friday's talks.
  • Implementing pressure measures, the UK is working on its next package targeting Moscow, as Starmer confirmed and Trump warned of severe consequences for Putin after Friday.
  • Amid planning for future negotiations, President Trump suggested he may hold a trilateral summit in Alaska if Friday’s meeting goes well, potentially pressuring Ukraine to cede territory.
