The Kiir Starmer alliance is still struggling to achieve it

UK Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer says that the “huge amount” has occurred since his “alliance from the” wishful “idea appeared for the first time at the Lancaster House summit two weeks ago.

It is not wrong: The relations between the United States of Ukrainian have been over the course of the rotation since then, and it reached its climax in the meeting in Riyadh earlier this week, as the two sides agreed to a 30 -day ceasefire.

But the Sir Kerr coalition is a great task, which is still somewhat mysterious, and it is clear that there is a great deal of work to be done before this allocated alliance is ready to take something complex – and perhaps risky – such as maintaining peace in Ukraine.

Sir Kerr says the alliance is now greater and that “new obligations” are on the table, although it is not spent.

He said that the participants in the virtual summit on Saturday morning agreed to maintain military aid flowing to Ukraine and tightening the restrictions imposed on the Russian economy, to weaken the Russian president War machine Vladimir Putin.

He said that the planning will now move to a “operational stage”, where military heads of UK are scheduled to meet next Thursday.

“In general, we are successful with the success of the political and military momentum,” he said.

We will likely see a group of political, diplomatic and military communities where the plan is slowly.

It is far from normal sailing.

When asked about the vital American military support for any European-led operation-what is called “Backstop”-the Prime Minister was clear: the position of the United States did not change.

European National Security Advisers, including Jonathan Powell – one of them was credited with persuading Ukraine President Voludmir Zelinski to accept the suggestion of the ceasefire in the United States – in Washington on Friday.

Unless the American president Donald Trump’s position on background changes, Sir Kiir can go into a desire to get off the ground.

For Zelinski, the military watch is knocking, especially in Kursk, where his forces were The occupation of a slide of a decrease from Russian territory since August 2024.

Ukraine strongly denies reports that its forces are surrounded by Kursk – a theory promoted by Trump on Friday – but it is clear that it is under tremendous pressure and loses the land.

When I was in Kiev near the end of last year, the Ukrainian forces told us that they were sticking to lands in Kursk as a bargaining in future negotiations.

But with these negotiations approaching, it is a chip Putin looks determined to remove from the table first.

This may go to some extent to explain “Yes, but” his approach to the idea of ​​a ceasefire for 30 days.
