Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Donald Trump and Sir Keir Starmer to meet and find common ground, after the US president's repeated criticism of the UK prime minister.

In an exclusive interview with the BBC after talks with Sir Keir, the Ukrainian president said that while he would not tell Trump what to do, the pair should meet to "re-load the relationship".

A war ignited by US and Israeli strikes on Iran has spilled into a diplomatic row after Trump's reprimanding of the Nato allies and Starmer's supposed lack of military action.

Zelensky warned against division among western leaders and said he had a "very bad feeling" about the impact of war in Iran on Ukraine.

Starmer is selling out his people who are under attack from migrating hordes.

Starmer’s ALL for giving Uke $$$ ... but, won’t help the UKs greatest ally ... who’s given $283 BILLION to Uke....not to mention NATO, UN, etc.

Ukraine is in Europe, The US is not. Time for Europe to take the lead, to quote some European wimp, this is not our war.

The Zelensky toad is really one to talk about finding “common ground.”
LOLOL!

I wish Trump would tell the media he’s tired
of dealing with coke heads.

If given the opportunity DJT would be the greatest peace maker the world has seen in generations. Runs circles around these inbred dolts.

Oh?

[HYPOCRACY]

Starmer’s a shirt lifter.

[SaxxonWoods]

Why does this guy think world leaders should follow his wishes? Take your land back and shaddup.

[algore]

I call for Russia to do the same thing to the Z guy as we just did to the Iranian Supreme Leaders

[Texas Eagle]

Stay in your lane, Volodymoort. The Babylon Bee will handle the satire.

[doc maverick]

Zelensky advises Trump and Starmer to find common ground.
Putin offers to be a meditator between the US and Iran.
Total CLOWN SHOW.

What a twit

Trollinsky

[HIDEK6]

This is rich.

[toddausauras]

Agreed.

[Midwesterner53]

I have a better idea: Trump needs to whisper to Argentina that the Falklands are there for the taking.

[drypowder]

How can Starmer negotiate with Trump while his head is stuck so far up in the Rothschild’s a55?

[mass55th]

Zelensky needs to be a peacemaker in his own country, not between Starmer and President Trump.
