UK PM Starmer hosts crucial Europe summit to find ‘lasting peace’ in Russia-Ukraine crisis

LONDON: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting a crucial summit of European leaders in London on Sunday to find a way forward with visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following his showdown with US President Donald Trump.

In contrast to his Washington visit, which was cut short, the Ukrainian leader received a royal welcome to the UK with an audience with King Charles at Sandringham before he joins the European leaders for crunch talks.

Starmer told the BBC in an interview on Sunday that he “trusts” that Trump wants to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict and wants lasting peace. PTI
