Britain, France and Ukraine have agreed to work on a ceasefire plan to be presented to the United States.
This was disclosed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday.
This is coming as Starmer prepares to host a summit of European leaders to discuss ending the war between Ukraine and Russia
The summit has been overshadowed by the recent heated argument between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last Friday.
Trump had accused Zelenskyy of being ungrateful for the United States’ support in Ukraine’s battle against the invasion by Russia.
However, Starmer said he is focused on being a bridge to restore peace talks.
“We have now agreed that 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 will discuss that plan with the United States,” Starmer told the BBC.
