UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Russia would face severe consequences if it violates a potential peace agreement in Ukraine, saying, "Putin needs to clearly understand that crossing the lines will have serious repercussions."
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with senior military officials from around 30 countries at the Northwood military base in northwest London. The meeting discussed how soldiers to be deployed in Ukraine under a peace agreement could contribute to ensuring the security of Ukraine.
"WE HAVE MOVED FROM THE 'POLITICAL DISCUSSION' PHASE TO THE 'MILITARY PLANNING' PHASE" Starmer stated in a press conference after the meeting that security measures must be taken for an agreement to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine to be permanent. Emphasizing that the UK and its allies have moved from the "political discussion" phase to the "military planning" phase, Starmer said that planning needs to be done "immediately" before a peace agreement is reached.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer "PUTIN NEEDS TO CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT CROSSING THE LINES WILL HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES" Starmer stated, "The purpose of the security arrangements is to clearly show that Russia will face severe consequences if it violates an agreement reached." He added, "For this, the US also needs to be part of it. Because Putin needs to clearly understand that crossing the lines will have serious consequences. The aim of this plan is to maintain peace, as we have done in Estonia and other countries where we are deployed," he said.
"I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT PUTIN WILL VIOLATE IT" Starmer said, "It is extremely important for us to do this work because there is one thing we know for sure. An agreement without guarantees will be violated by Putin. We know this because it has happened before. I have no doubt that it will happen again," he stated.
