Sir Kerr Starmer said that the “coalition from the wish” is working to develop a military plan so that it can “respond immediately” to defend any peace deal that Ukraine with Russia.

The Prime Minister in the United Kingdom said that the figures of the Supreme Armed Forces from about 30 countries involved in the coalition to support Kiev met Thursday to the axis of “political concept to military plans.”

The meeting came after an invitation from the political leaders held by London at the end of last week, and a preliminary meeting of the pillars of the Defense Staff in Paris last week.

Speaking at the headquarters of the UK Armed Forces in Northwood, Herfordshire, Starmer said in the wake of.Important talks“Between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday,” the schedule now has become a focus “for a possible shooting.

Britain’s allies and European Union allies have shown unity in their planning in favor of the UK’s “power of reassurance” in Ukraine, headquartered after the ceasefire.

But the relationships had erupted earlier this week when the European Commission open British weapons companies will exclude from the new Defense spending fund worth 150 billion euros until London and Brussels approved the new security agreement.

When asked about this step on Thursday, Starmer said, “There is room for more joint work” between Britain and the European Union regarding the coordination of defense.

“I am very pleased that the European Union indicates their intention to spend a lot to defense. I was the oldest argument, as others have done, that we all in Europe must advance, not only with regard to Ukraine, but in general in collective self -defense.

He refused to be attracted to if he supports Trump an offer To Ukrainian President Foludmir Zelinski to Washington to control the power plants in Ukraine, a deal that the White House argued that it will provide “the best protection” of energy infrastructure in the country.

“This is a matter for the United States and Ukraine to discuss,” Starmer said, but he added: “It is clear that Ukraine must be safe and sovereign, and therefore we are able to make decisions on behalf of the Ukrainian people, and that if there is a deal, it must be defended.”

In a clear indication of the failed Minsk agreements from 2014 and 2015, according to which Russia agreed to a ceasefire in Ukraine before its large -scale invasion of the country in 2022, Starmer said: “There were deals in the past that had no security arrangements and Putin did not notice any notice of it.”

He added: “We know from history what the dangers here are, and this is why we are working with the allies to ensure that the political alignment and momentum that we have built in recent weeks – which is good that there are many alignment countries – to military planning and military operations.”

While he stressed his caution on whether the peace agreement will be secured, Starmer said: “If there is a deal, it is really important to interact immediately. That is why we do this work.”
