Sir Kerr Starmer said that Sir Kerr Starmer expressed his “fixed Ukraine” support after his conversation with Donald Trump and Volodimir Zelinsky after their hot exchange in the White House, Downg Street said.
The Prime Minister’s intervention came after the TERSE exchanged in the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Sayyid Zilinsky and the American President.
The two leaders abandoned plans to sign the metal deal that would have provided more American military support in exchange for reaching natural resources in Ukraine.
The US President accused his Ukrainian counterpart of “gambling with World War III”, and called for Mr. Zelinski to be more “grateful” to support the United States.
The clash comes after weeks in which the relationship between Washington and Kiev has strained.
Mr. Trump has described Ukraine president a dictator for not holding elections, and the war torn apart from the initial peace talks with Russia.
This also comes just one day after Sir Kerr’s visit to the United States, which is considered successful because the magic of the Prime Minister with Mr. Trump received support for the Chaghus Islands deal and indicates that he may be able to adhere to the American definitions of British goods.
Downting Street indicated that Sir Care has sought relations between Ukraine and the United States after the White House explosion.
“The Prime Minister spoke tonight to President Trump and President Zellinski,” a spokeswoman for No. 10 said.
“He keeps fixed support for Ukraine, and he is doing everything in his power to find a path forward to a permanent peace that depends on the sovereignty and security of Ukraine.”
The Downting Street statement followed a unit of political leaders in Europe, and Ukraine’s support.
There is the aggressor: Russia.
There is a victim: Ukraine.
We were right to help Ukraine and the punishment of Russia three years ago – and continued.
By “We”, I mean the Americans, Europeans, Canadians, Japanese and many others.
Thank you …

French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Schools, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Chairman of the European Union Committee, Ursula von der Lin, were among the leaders who express solidarity with Mr. Zellinski.
Conservative leader Kimi Badnosh called for “respected diplomacy” after the meeting, and said that “the divided West only benefits Russia”, while the Westminster Snp leader Stephen Flynn suggested that the offer be canceled to Mr. Trump from the visit of the second state.
In an unprecedented series of stock exchanges in the Oval Office, the US President, Vice President JD Vance and Mr. Zelensky spoke about each other in high voices.
Trump said: “You are doing gambling with millions of people … You are gambling with World War III,” Trump said.
Mr. Zelinski warned that the United States will “feel it in the future” if it does not continue to support Ukraine.
“Don’t tell us what we will feel. We are trying to solve a problem.”
Mr. Vance asked why Mr. Zellinski did not say thank you for the American military aid during the meeting.
The vice president was also heard to say to the Ukrainian leader: “The President, with respect, I think it is not respectable to come to the Oval Office and try this to litigate in front of the American media.
“Currently, you wander, comrades and force recruits on the front lines because you have workforce problems. You should thank the president for an end to this conflict.”
Mr. Zellinski left the White House earlier than he was planned, and made plans for him and Mr. Trump to sign the metal deal.
A press conference was also canceled.
Writing on the social truth platform, Mr. Trump said that his Ukrainian counterpart “is not ready for peace if America is involved, because he feels that our participation gives him a great advantage in negotiations.”
But in a sign that Mr. Trump is open to more discussions with the Ukrainian leader, he added: “He can return when he is ready for peace.”
Mr. Zelensky, in the meantime, thanked the President for X after the meeting.
“Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you (Mr. Trump), Congress, and the American people. He said that Ukraine needs peace and lasting, and we are working exactly for that.”
Sir Kerr will host a group of European leaders in Downing Street on Sunday, which is expected to be attended by Mr. Zelinski.
They will discuss the next steps in security -security planning if a peace agreement is reached in Ukraine – something that the Prime Minister believes that he will have to involve the United States.
Leaders will consider how to strengthen Ukraine’s current position, with military support and increase economic pressure on Russia.
