Putin will be forced to sit down at negotiating table "sooner or later" - Starmer
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke before the start of a virtual meeting of world leaders to discuss peacekeeping in Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Sky News.
Starmer emphasized the importance of continuing to put pressure on Vladimir Putin.
"I believe that sooner or later he will have to sit down at the negotiating table and start a serious discussion. But we cannot sit back and just wait for that to happen. We must continue to move forward, push forward and prepare for peace - peace that will be secure and lasting," he emphasized.
This means strengthening Ukraine's own defense, "being prepared to defend any agreement ourselves with a coalition of the willing," and continuing to "put pressure on Putin to come to the negotiating table," the British prime minister added.
As a reminder, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Putin has no plans to end the war in Ukraine and will continue his aggression, even if he does not agree to a temporary truce.
