Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer has promised sweeping sanctions to heap pressure on Russia and get President Vladimir Putin “not just to talk, but to make concessions”. The Prime Minister said US President Donald Trump has “changed the global conversation” around Ukraine but that this provided an “opportunity” as world leaders marked the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion. “The UK is ready and willing to support this with troops on the ground, with other Europeans and with the right conditions in place, and ultimately, a US backstop will be vital to deter Russia from launching another invasion in just a few years’ time.” Downing Street clarified that Sir Keir meant the US President had changed the global conversation around Ukraine “for the better”. Mr Trump’s talks with Russia, his description of Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky as a “dictator” and claim that Kyiv started the war have shattered the transatlantic alliance on the issue.
