Starmer will not meet with Putin
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, during his trip to Rio de Janeiro for the G20 summit, stated at a press conference that he does not intend to meet with Vladimir Putin, responding to a question about the decision of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to meet with the Russian leader. He emphasized that Ukrainians continue to engage in a great struggle for 1000 days.
The Struggle of Ukraine and the Problem of North Korean Troops
Starmer expressed his outrage at the deployment of North Korean troops in Ukraine, condemning Russia and asserting that such actions have serious consequences for the security of Europe. He called on world leaders to double their efforts to support Ukraine, which is his top priority at the G20 summit.
The Importance of Discussing Ukraine with Trump
Starmer also pointed to U.S. President Donald Trump and noted that it is now necessary to discuss important issues, particularly regarding Ukraine, and it is crucial that they are not ignored.
It is worth noting that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had a one-hour phone conversation with Putin, demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine and calling for negotiations to achieve peace.
