Starmer to host coalition call as he says Putin 'not serious about peace'
Raw StoryUK premier Keir Starmer will prod fellow leaders Saturday to sign up to a coalition willing to protect any eventual ceasefire in Ukraine, having said Russian President Vladimir Putin was "not serious about peace". "We can't allow President Putin to play games with President Trump's deal," Starmer said in comments released by Downing Street late Friday, ahead of the call on Saturday morning. Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have been leading efforts to assemble a so-called "coalition of the willing" ever since Trump opened direct negotiations with Moscow last month. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday also confirmed the call and said he had discussed "technical aspects" of how the ceasefire could be implemented with Macron.
