Starmer says allies must ‘step up’ Ukraine support in meeting with Zelensky

Sir Keir Starmer said allies must “step up” support for Ukraine, as he met the country’s president amid uncertainty about the future of US backing for Kyiv after Donald Trump’s election victory.

The Prime Minister told Volodymyr Zelensky the UK had an “unwavering” commitment to help the country defend itself against Russia’s invasion during bilateral talks at a European Political Community summit in Hungary.

Sir Keir also said the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia was “proof of Putin’s increasing desperation” and that the UK would stand with Ukraine “for as long as it takes for Russia to withdraw”.

The gathering of European leaders on Thursday was largely overshadowed by Mr Trump’s historic win at the US polls which puts him on course for a second term in the White House.

But figures including Sir Keir used the summit to insist international partners “see this through” and strengthen their resolve to offer continued support for Ukraine.

There will be concerns across some western capitals that the American election result may leave the country imperilled following the Republican politician’s refusal to explicitly back a victory for Kyiv.

I have a solution. Ship our Zeepers and their bank accounts to Starmer. Solve multiple problems.

They will have a change of heart when the good old USA decides that they can do whatever they want but leave us out of it. They don’t want to face Russia without us.

We should ship demonic Obama over there permanently, two tier Keir is his installed boytoy.

He hates free speech even more than Hillary. His plans to have a go at those practicing their 1st Amendment protections in the USA went into the DNC dumpster on election night along with wicked Harris and CCP lackey Walz.

Where exactly is all the Ukraine money going? There has never been an audit. Is it being used to make the USA weaker? They can’t possibly win. This should have been brought to the negotiation table a year ago but Biden, maniac that he is does not want to negotiate. He wants to defeat Russia. Well that is not going to happen without a fight. Whoever is the architect of this provoking of Russia is crazy.

Okay Mr. Starmer. You do it. Your economy of Western Europe is several times that of Russia. Your population is several times that of Russia. Your economy and population is more than than the USA. Your defense industry makes fine weapons of war of equal and superior of Russia. The UK and France make fine nuclear weapons.

YOU DO IT! The USA has become rather tired of protecting you ass. We saved your ass in WWI and WWII. It is your turn to save your ass.
