UK PM Starmer is on the newswires speaking on the peace/ceasefire plans:
- They have a military plan ready that could be used if there is a ceasefire
- Have to combine active diplomacy with military support to Ukraine and pressure Russia
- Talks about cease-fire have to sit alongside credible security guarantees.
- Have made progress on security guarantees and call with Trump earlier today.
- Stand ready to increase pressure on Russian sanctions and other measures as needed.
