Summary
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that Britain and France will develop a Ukraine peace plan independent of US-Russia talks, following Donald Trump’s hostile meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Starmer coordinated with French President Emmanuel Macron and other allies to support Ukraine and repair strained ties with Washington.
Meanwhile, the UK signed a £2.3bn loan deal to fund Ukrainian arms purchases.
Starmer emphasized the need for American cooperation and expressed skepticism about Vladimir Putin’s commitment to any agreement.
Peace deals are great and everything. But at this point, with Russia’s proven record of reneging on agreements and general fuckery, the primary focus should be on protecting Ukraine, Poland, etc without any cooperation from the US, and ramping up resources and military expertise for Ukraine.
I would say getting Ukraine into NATO should be a massive priority too, but that’s dead in the water with Trump effectively having veto power. So if anything it’s time to accept that NATO as we know it is dead, and to form a replacement organization featuring Europe (including the UK), Canada, and maybe Mexico.
Russias foreign assets all need to be progressively liquidated and relinquished until they fuck off, and then backstabbed and all sold regardless of any deal so they understand what happens when they fuck around with any further dirty tricks going forward. Any plane containing Puttin needs to be shot on site and sight like they did recently to that Azjerbain passenger plane. Literally a terrorist mafia state that needs to be spanked to death
