The UK and France will work with Ukraine on a plan to end the fighting with Russia, which will later be presented to the United States, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Sunday.

“The United Kingdom, along with France and possibly one or two others, will work with Ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting, and then we’ll discuss that plan with the United States,” Starmer told the BBC.

Starmer hosted Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders on Sunday for a summit on the conflict, which has taken on huge significance in the wake of the clash between the Ukrainian president and US counterpart Donald Trump.

Starmer told the BBC that “nobody wants to see” the scenes of the two leaders’ White House clash, and that “I am clear in my mind that he (Trump) does want a lasting peace.”

The prime minister has presented himself as a bridge between the United States and Europe, and met with Trump in Washington on Thursday.
