British Prime Minister: Keep pressure on Putin

The British Prime Minister Keir Strandmer called on the international allies to maintain the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin for negotiations on peace in Ukraine. « And I think we have a number of ways together to do this, » said Starmer at the start of a video conference, in which European heads of state and government, as well as the heads of NATO and the EU. The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj was also there.

Putin had to stop his « barbaric attacks » on Ukraine and agree to an agreement for an ceasefire. The world is looking, said Strandmer. His feeling is that the Russian president « sooner or later » has to come to the negotiating table and have to get involved in serious conversations. The « big but » for the allies is not to reject and wait.

Stranders « coalition of the willing »

Putin is not ready for an immediate ceasefire on the USA. Ukraine has explained its fundamental willingness to do so. Putin ties in a fire break on conditions; So far, he has not moved away from his maximum demands.

The Strander was the host of a conference of the head of state and government as well as the EU and NATO leadership at the beginning of March. The Social Democrat wants to establish a « coalition of the willing », which in the event of an agreement could also have peace in Ukraine with its own troops. There will be another military planning conference in the coming week.
