Global Leaders Push for Ceasefire in Ukraine as Putin Resists

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer leads virtual summit to rally support for Ukraine and address challenges in achieving a lasting peace agreement.

  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted a virtual meeting of around 25 world leaders, urging continued economic and military support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia to agree to a ceasefire.
  • The United States proposed a 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine has accepted, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has outlined conditions that complicate negotiations.
  • Putin has demanded guarantees on NATO neutrality, limits on Ukraine's military, and territorial concessions, which Kyiv has rejected as unacceptable.
  • European nations, led by the UK and France, are exploring the potential deployment of a peacekeeping force in Ukraine, though many countries seek a clear UN mandate before committing troops.
  • The United States resumed military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after earlier suspensions, while diplomatic efforts continue to engage Russia in serious peace discussions.
