Zelensky meets Starmer to reinforce UK support and discuss sanctions amid concerns Ukraine may be sidelined in upcoming US-Russia peace talks, with 31 countries backing Kyiv.

  • On Aug 14, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrives in London to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, ahead of Friday’s US-Russia summit in Alaska.
  • Having convened with European leaders in Germany, Zelenskyy worked with them to urge President Trump not to allow President Putin to carve up Ukraine’s territory at the Alaska summit.
  • A joint coalition statement, co-chaired by Sir Keir Starmer, said `international borders must not be changed by force` and urged stronger sanctions if Russia refuses a ceasefire in Alaska.

  • President Donald Trump said his Alaska summit aims at `setting the table for the second meeting` and warned of `severe consequences` if Aug 15 talks fail.
