Shafaq News/ The United Kingdom and
France are working on a Ukraine-Russia peace plan to present to the US, British
Prime Minister Keir Starmer revealed on Sunday.

Speaking on BBC One’s Sunday with
Laura Kuenssberg, Starmer described his role as a “bridge” between US President
Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizing the need
to refocus efforts on securing peace.

He confirmed he had reached out to
both leaders, as well as French President Emmanuel Macron, to restore
diplomatic cohesion. “We need to find a way to work together because after
three years of bloody conflict, achieving a lasting peace is imperative,” Starmer
asserted.

Starmer’s announcement comes ahead
of a high-stakes summit in London, where Zelensky is set to meet with European
leaders.

Notably, the Ukrainian President had
recently been involved in a tense exchange with President Donald Trump,
following sharp criticism from the US President. The situation escalated with
Trump reportedly cutting the meeting short and asking Zelensky to leave
the White House.
