  1. The U.K. will not force or persuade Ukraine to accept a bad peace treaty, especially one that entails the loss of territory, said Defense Secretary Grant Shapps in an interview with Times Radio on May 14.

    The comments follow reporting by the Sunday Times that U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron had allegedly personally pitched a peace plan to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The U.K. government stressed after the story that its position toward Ukraine had not changed.

    Shapps reiterated the government’s statement, saying, “There is just no sense at all in which Britain would try to persuade, strong-arm or otherwise, Ukraine into accepting giving up some of their territory.”

    “That’s a decision entirely for Ukraine.”

  2. Yeah, right, if West will create conditions under which Ukraine will have no other choice like to surrender, technically would mean it wasn’t forced. /s

    What a coincidence, precisely it was happening for two+ years…

  3. Old Shappsydog trying to persuade Zelensky to accept a peace treaty would be comedy gold. 

    Nice fella, but, looks like he would sell your nan for a bath of beans to soak his toes in. 

    I really hope Labour get someone in with former service. I don’t think Shapps has, but, Dan Jarvis surely would be in with a shout?

  4. Verbally but you could “force” them to accept peace treaty with your fucking shitty ass support. (not directly to uk but whole europe)

  5. ‘… we will just make it exceedingly likely for as long as it takes.’
