Starmer says ‘there must be a U.S. backstop’ for any Ukraine peace deal

  • (BBC News) Sir Keir Starmer says “there must be a US backstop” for a lasting peace agreement in Ukraine, after European leaders met in Paris for an emergency summit on Ukraine.
  • The UK prime minister says “this is a once in a generation moment for the collective security of Europe.”
  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Europe and the US must work together on security, and Polish PM Donald Tusk says there should be no decisions about Ukraine without its involvement.
  • Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says there is no role for Europe in any peace talks, speaking before heading to Saudi Arabia for talks on Ukraine with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
  • Ukraine’s President Zelensky is also in Saudi Arabia this week, but says he is not involved in the US-Russia talks.
