The British Prime Minister Star star stated that the “coalition of the willing” is now greater And that “new commitments” are on the table, though he did not clarify them, as the BBC notes in its analysis.

Teleconference participants, he said, agreed to continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine and to tighten sanctions on the Russian economy to weaken the Russian president’s war machine Vladimir Putin.

The plan, he said, will now move on to a “operational phase”, with military leaders meeting in the United Kingdom next Thursday.

“Overall, we successfully concentrate political and military dynamics,” Starmer stressed.

It is likely that we will see a series of political, diplomatic and military meetings, as the plan is slowly taking shape.

But the whole plan is not easy at all. Asked about vital US military support for any European leadership operation – the so -called “backstop” – Starmer was clear: “The US position has not changed.”

European National Security Advisors, including Jonathan Powell – one of those who were credited to convinced the Ukrainian president Volodimir Zelenski To accept the US ceasefire proposal – found in Washington yesterday.

If the position of the Donald Trump Regarding the backstop, the starmaker coalition could be difficult to start, the BBC stresses.

Starmer claims that “huge things” have happened since the idea of ​​the “coalition of the willing” first appeared at the Lancaster House summit two weeks ago. It is not unfair: since then US-Ukraine relations have been in a train of terror, culminating in the Riyadh meeting earlier this week, where the two sides agreed to a 30-day truce.

But Starmer’s Coalition is a big, still somewhat unclear venture, and there is clearly a lot of work to be done before this ad hoc alliance is ready to undertake something so complex – and potentially dangerous – such as maintaining peace in Ukraine.

Possible ceasefire agreement in Ukraine: Who says what?

As discussions on a possible peace deal on Ukraine continue, the BBC has made an account of what some of the key players have said in recent days:

British Prime Minister Kir Starmer:

– Now is the time to exert “maximum pressure” in Russia, Starmer said, in order to change the position of Vladimir Vladimir Putin about the ceasefire, adding that this should be the time when “weapons will be silent”.

– Speaking after today’s leaders’ conference conference, Starmer said that the so -called “coalition of the willing” goes into a “operational phase” of logistics.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski:

– Zelenski says that “peace must be unconditionally” and reiterated that “strong pressure” must be exerted on Russia as it extends the war.

– He also accused Putin of “lies” for the ceasefire that is “very complicated” and denied the Kremlin’s allegations that Russian soldiers have surrounded Ukrainian troops in Kursk, the area where the Ukrainian forces were abusing.

Russian President Vladimir Putin:

– Putin says that Russia is “in favor” of ceasefire, but “questions” about the nature of the truce.

– A ceasefire should lead to “a constant peace and eliminate the deepest causes of this crisis,” he said, adding that “we have to negotiate with our American colleagues and partners … Maybe I make a telephone conversation with Donald Trump”.

US President Donald Trump:

– Trump says talks between Russia and America earlier this week in Moscow were “good and productive”.

– Trump, in a post on social media, described the conversations as “a very good opportunity to finally end this horrible, bloody war”.

The seizure of Russian assets ‘complicated’ but the discussion continues

The prospect of the seizure of committed Russian assets was one of the issues discussed by leaders at teleconference earlier today.

Describing the issue as “complex”, Starmer said the debate on this issue would continue. It comes after the placement of other political figures, including his own Foreign Minister David Lami, who came in favor.

Following Russia’s full -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, assets worth about $ 325 billion were committed by the G7, along with the EU – these are economic sanctions that limit access to named natural and legal persons to assets in the country.

It is recalled that the United Kingdom is currently using revenue from these assets to support Ukraine. Other European countries do the same.

However, their actual seizure could be faced with legal issues of international law.

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has previously warned that such a move is in danger of “breaking the international class … that you would like Russia to respect”. At the beginning of the month, Lagarde said this was not a matter of debate on the European Central Bank. However, he added: “The basis of international law under which any decision will be made.”

Starmer said today that the sanctions would continue in an effort to “come to Putin on the negotiating table”, but a decision on the seizure of assets are left.

In the midst of Ukrainian effort for peace, rings bell in Kursk

For Zelenski, they sound military bells, especially in Kursk, where his troops hold a small piece of Russian territory since last August.

Ukraine strongly denies the reports that its forces are surrounded by Kursk – a theory that Donald Trump promoted yesterday – but it is clear that they are under huge pressure and losing ground.

“When I was in Kiev by the end of last year, Ukrainian troops told us that they were holding territories in Kursk as a negotiating paper that would play a role in future negotiations, Paul Adams, a BBC correspondent, said.

But as these negotiations approach, it is a paper that Putin seems determined to remove first from the table. This can to some extent explain his approach to the idea of ​​a 30 -day truce and why he is delayed.
