UK Prime Minister Hosts Coalition Talks on Potential Ukraine Peacekeeping Force

UK Prime Minister Hosts Coalition Talks on Potential Ukraine Peacekeeping Force

Prime Minister holds discussions with global leaders as ceasefire proposals face resistance from Russia.
The UK Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is set to lead a virtual summit involving up to 25 nations interested in supporting a potential peacekeeping operation in Ukraine.

The meeting, scheduled to take place after discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, aims to build a 'coalition of the willing' to facilitate a ceasefire and ensure lasting peace in the region.

During the call, leaders will discuss their respective contributions towards enforcing peace, as global officials respond to ongoing conflict amidst proposals for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire suggested by Ukraine and the United States earlier this week.

Despite the international push, Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated that any ceasefire must be contingent upon Ukraine abandoning its NATO aspirations and relinquishing control of certain territories.

The Russian leadership has expressed skepticism about the terms being proposed, with Putin calling for a 'painstaking study' of proposals before any agreement can be reached.

In contrast, Prime Minister Starmer criticized Putin’s tactics, emphasizing the need for immediate action rather than delays.

'The world needs to see action, not a study or empty words and pointless conditions,' he stated.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Putin of using preconditions to prolong discussions and divert from the need for a ceasefire.

In a recent statement, Zelensky reiterated that the quick return of prisoners and the proposed ceasefire are essential for moving toward a just peace.

Sir Keir Starmer's call to action comes as Donald Trump, the former US president, claimed to have received positive signals from Russia regarding a ceasefire, despite the ongoing resistance from Putin.

Trump described his recent discussions with the Russian president as ‘very good and productive’, asserting that prospects for peace remain viable.

During this week’s diplomatic efforts, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire proposal from the US, which White House envoy Steve Witkoff presented directly to Putin.

While Putin has recognized the principle of a ceasefire, he raised questions about the details and satisfaction of certain conditions.

G7 foreign ministers have also assured their commitment to a ceasefire without preconditions, with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stating that now is the time for unified action.

However, recent statements from G7 ministers have notably refrained from directly condemning Russia's actions or acknowledging the aggressions involved.

Concerns remain regarding the potential for Russian veto against any proposed UN mandate for peacekeeping, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni indicating her country’s hesitance to commit troops without clear UN authority, reflecting a broader uncertainty among global leaders regarding military involvement in Ukraine.

As the situation develops, Starmer is expected to press for detailed discussions on how nations can collectively provide security to Ukraine while addressing the humanitarian crisis stemming from the ongoing conflict.
