Starmer Urges Putin to Abandon Delaying Tactics as UK Hosts New Ukraine Allies Meeting

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to lead a meeting on March 15, 2025, aimed at discussing how to support Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia, with the expectation of involvement from approximately 25 countries. The U.S. has proposed a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, a move supported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has stipulated conditions before agreeing to a ceasefire. Starmer stressed the importance of concrete commitments to prevent further attacks on Ukraine and cautioned against Putin engaging in 'pointless games' concerning the ceasefire. G7 allies, spearheaded by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, are in consensus in urging for an unconditional ceasefire to intensify pressure on the Putin regime.
