Starmer tells Zelensky he has 'full backing' of UK
BBC ^ | 03 01 2025 | Tom McArthur & Emma Rossiter

Sir Keir Starmer has told Volodymyr Zelensky he has "full backing across the United Kingdom" as the two met in Downing Street.

The Ukrainian president told the prime minister he was happy his country had "such friends", after arriving in the UK in the wake of a White House meeting with US President Donald Trump that descended into a row between the two leaders.

Zelensky and Sir Keir embraced outside No 10 before heading inside to discuss efforts to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to an end.

The PM will host a summit of European leaders on Sunday on the matter - as well as wider European defence - while Zelensky will also meet King Charles III.

Britain has a total of 40 tanks (how many are operational?) and zero armored personnel carriers (they gave them all to Ukraine).

Today, Britain has more admirals than ships and more generals than tanks. That is the state of Britain today.

Starmer puppet won’t give Zelinsky anything.
Neither will the others who are talking trash about Trump.
They forget US taxpayers voted Trump in so they are also talking trash about US citizens. So are the democrats. Maybe democrats should put their sons on the ground in Ukraine and STFU.

Sorry, Keir...there’s NO WAY way tiny dancer can accept that. He wants other countries’ troops to die in Ukraine and for WWlll to get cranked up. He’s the shot-caller and he’s got his demands, ya know.

5 Billion, while the British people suffer with sky high energy prices. The day after Zeke insults the US Starmer leaps at the chance to spit in Trump’s face. Special relationship, right.

Exactly all these words from the European tyrants are empty, they are only saying this to try to hurt and crybully America into footing the bill.

Starmer’s UK has a paper military, with performed princes.

This is Europe’s problem so fine, go for it, America taps out. Burn your money.. lol which we know you won’t.

Still not our fight! Bout time Britain and France got into this as they have dealt with the Crimea in the past. “Half a league onward!”
