British Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed the war between Russia and Ukraine ahead of his meeting today in London with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown he is not serious about proposals to end the war. According to Starmer, "Time and again we offer Putin the opportunity to end his unnecessary invasion, stop the killing and withdraw his troops, but he repeatedly rejects these proposals and any chance for peace." Starmer referenced sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump on Russia's two largest oil companies, saying "we need to increase pressure on Russia following President Trump's decisive action."
