Donald Trump set to lift ban on sharing aid and intelligence with Ukraine after last-minute plea by Keir Starmer before crucial talks in Saudi Arabia

The United States is tonight poised to lift its ban on military aid and intelligence support for Ukraine after a plea by Sir Keir Starmer.

The Prime Minister spoke to US President Donald Trump for 20 minutes ahead of peace talks in Saudi Arabia to end the three-year conflict.

Downing Street sources said the PM raised the US’s suspension of intelligence-sharing and military aid in their call today.

UK officials have also been convincing Ukrainian officials of the need to meet US requirements for its military backing to resume.

Following his discussion with President Trump, a spokesman for the Prime Minister said he hoped there would be a ‘positive outcome’.

While on Saturday, Sir Keir will host a fresh meeting of countries who want to join the PM’s ‘coalition of the willing’ in Ukraine, to protect the country after any peace deal.

A Downing Street spokesman said: ‘The Prime Minister said he hoped there would be a positive outcome to the talks that would enable US and intelligence to be restarted.’

The US stopped supporting Ukraine in practical terms following the disastrous Oval Office meeting last month between Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump.

Not a good idea. Just no. Unless Starmer bows down and kisses President Trump's feet and ring.

Starmer will be thrown out of office before we know it, if he keeps pushing for Brit soldiers as ‘peacekeepers’.

Until confirmed by POTUS this is noting but conjecture, at best.

The money, arms and intelligence only feed Ukraine’s intransigence.

They must remain without US support of any kind.

Putin’s most recent bombardment of Ukraine - taking advantage of President Trump’s move re aid to Ukraine - did not go over well at the WH.

Starmer: I have good news and bad news for you.
Zelensky: What’s the good news?
Starmer: US will start sharing intelligence with you again.
Zelensky: That’s great! What’s the bad news?
Starmer: The intelligence report says Ukraine is screwed.

Endless military aid to Ukraine will result in endless war.

Ending the military aid to Ukraine will result in ending the war.

Unsubstantiated accusations are the bread and butter of a certain group on FR.

There certainly is a huge moral gap in the world, and even a new Pope is unlikely to help.

Something much better is at hand.
European intervention in Ukraine.

Step 1. will a a true air defense, of new missiles in quantity (in production) to stop the cruise missiles.
2. A deployment of Euro fighters to end the SU24 bombings.
3. SEAD strikes to exterminate Russian air defense in Ukraine and nearby Russia.
4. An intervention force of @250,000 men.

At this point the Russians, their teeth pulled and subject to tactical air, can attack all they like. They can be left to attack until they exhaust themselves or the Urainians/allies can liberate whatever they feel like.
