UK PM Keir Starmer unveiled a four-point plan to bolster Ukraine’s defense and secure lasting peace. The strategy includes continued military aid, economic pressure on Russia, Ukraine’s presence in peace talks, and forming a "coalition of the willing" for post-war security. The UK committed £1.6bn for air defense missiles, reinforcing its £2.2bn military aid loan. At a European summit, Zelensky hailed strong support but faced US resistance, as tensions flared between him and Trump. The US began peace talks with Russia, excluding Ukraine. Starmer emphasized Europe’s responsibility while acknowledging the US’s role in securing peace. Meanwhile, Zelensky is poised to finalize a critical mineral deal with the US.
