Ukraine must be given security guarantees to ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin does not break a potential peace agreement, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, according to The Guardian. Starmer noted he was "not entirely surprised" by Russia’s negative reaction to the US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine.

In a world teetering on the edge of uncertainty, Sir Keir Starmer's stark warning about Vladimir Putin's grip on Europe sends shivers down the spine.

Vladimir Putin’s top diplomat has indirectly dismissed Keir Starmer’s idea to deploy peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov attacked European leaders who are still supporting Ukraine three years after Putin launched his brutal invasion.
