Following a meeting with world leaders, Starmer has announced a £1.6bn financing package to Ukraine, the creation of a "Coalition of the Willing", and that a deal to be presented to Trump. He has emphasised:

  • The importance of the US's participation in the coalition
  • His trust in the US as an ongoing ally to Europe
  • His confidence that a deal will be reached

Here are the four points the bbc is reporting, which are completely different to yours. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cn5220x56pqt

  • To keep military aid flowing into Ukraine while the war is ongoing, and increase economic pressure on Russia

  • Any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security, and Ukraine must be at the table for any peace talks

  • In the event of a peace deal, European leaders will aim to deter any future invasion by Russia into Ukraine

  • There would be a "coalition of the willing" to defend Ukraine and guarantee peace in the country

Thank you for posting these and yes absolutely, this is the overarching four-point strategy that he outlined.

I was summarising the points specifically with respect his comments on Trump and the USA's involvement, perhaps I should have made that clear.

Yes, you should have. Several people in here seem to be reacting to the mistaken idea that Europe's only focus is Trump.

It's a very odd way to frame it.

This is almost entirely a European plan.
