UK, France and Ukraine will present peace deal to Donald Trump: British PM

.

Britain and France will work on a peace deal with Ukraine and present it to Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Mar 2, describing it as a step in the right direction following Friday's explosive meeting in the White House.

Starmer, due to host Western leaders in London in a bid to revive a peace deal, said he hoped a European "coalition of the willing" would come together to support Kyiv, but that any ceasefire had to be underpinned by the United States to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine again.

"In other words, we've got to find those countries in Europe that are prepared to be a bit more forward leaning," he told BBC television.

"The UK and France are the most advanced on the thinking of this and that is why President Macron and I are working on this plan, which we will then discuss with the U.S."
