UK Prime Minister says about ‘unbreakable pledge to Ukraine,’ warning against trusting Putin

Speaking via video link, Starmer warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted, and that the Kremlin leader is deliberately stalling peace negotiations to continue striking Ukraine.

“That was further underlined by the indiscriminate attacks in Kyiv last week, causing significant damage to the British Council and EU delegation buildings,” said the UK government Spokesperson.

According to him, Starmer also stated that the allies had given Ukraine an “unbreakable pledge.”

“The Prime Minister emphasised that the group had an unbreakable pledge to Ukraine, with President Trump's backing, and it was clear they now needed to go even further to apply pressure on Putin to secure a cessation of hostilities,” the Spokesperson added.

Starmer also welcomed new announcements from some of Ukraine’s partners regarding the delivery of long-range missiles to Kyiv.
