Last Sunday, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom hosted the leaders of 13 European countries mainly for talks on the formation of a “coalition of those who wish” to support Ukraine.

Britain and France offered to send forces to Ukraine to help secure any truce, and Starmer also told others ready to join the country’s multinational force.

There were signs that the coalition was expanding after 20 countries in the discussions hosted by the United Kingdom. People who have seen the talks said that the participants are officials from the foreign ministries, and they are usually at the level of the political manager.

One of the persons said that the talks are linked to a meeting of the heads of defense in Paris next week, adding that “all these meetings revolve around security guarantees and that they are often inhabited by the same countries.”

British officials confirmed that while the countries that were on the call to help secure peace in Ukraine wanted, they were not all committed to joining a force led by the United Kingdom.

Canada, a state of Commonwealth, attended the London talks on Sunday, its interest in joining the “Starmer Alliance” to help secure any truce in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy has now indicated that he is ready to sign a metal deal with the United States and work with Trump in a peace plan. Starmer and Makkon urged Ukrainian president to rebuild bridges urgently with Trump after the class in the Oval Office last week.

People who have seen the negotiations say it is unclear whether Zelinski will travel to Washington with Starmer and McConds or whether it is better for him not to return to the White House at this sensitive stage.

“It can be a phone call from Zelenskyy,” said a European diplomat. There are a lot of conversations that are taking place at the present time. It is not clear when Starmer and Macron may return to Washington or whether Zelenskyy will be with them. “

British officials say that the immediate goal of Starmer is to ensure the signs of Zelenskyy on the metal deal, which the UK Prime Minister hopes to be a “changing games” regarding the feelings of the Republican Party with concern about the conflict.

“Britain is more islands and Americans more – but it is a good double action. Americans must know even though the British are pressing Ukraine to interact seriously with the ceasefire on Russia’s trick.”

Hope in London is that as soon as Zelinski signs the metal deal, Trump will then press Vladimir Putin to agree on a ceasefire. One of the European diplomats said: “If the Russians are wandering, Trump will strike them.”

John Healy, UK Defense Minister, in Washington on Thursday, was trying to persuade his counterpart in the United States, Beit Higseth, that Europe is ready to help secure peace but needs an American military cover as a “quagmire”.

Some European diplomats are concerned that Trump will not be persuaded at this point, creating a dilemma for Starmer and Macron on whether the peacekeeping force of any viable type.

Starmer won the tranquility from all over the political spectrum because of his dealings with Trump negotiations – including his visit to the White House last week – one of the British observers said that chemistry between the two leaders was interesting.

The person said: “When the Prime Minister focuses on something he really focuses on and is crucial.” “He is a little danger and hesitates to spread the character, but for Trump works this.

“But the Prime Minister listens to him, as he does not try to score discussion points or get the last word, but in a calm way and the measure of his arguments falls with the president.”
