Starmer, Zelensky, Trump Meet at White House to Discuss Ukraine War Peace

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is participating in high-level discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and European leaders to seek a resolution to the war in Ukraine. Starmer is engaging with a coalition of over 30 nations, including France and Germany, aiming to deter Russian aggression and support Ukraine with potential troop deployments after the conflict. President Trump recently held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where no peace deal was reached, but Trump indicated that progress was made and that the onus is now on Zelensky to negotiate an agreement. Media reports suggest Trump might push Zelensky to accept Russia's demands for control over Donetsk and Luhansk regions as part of a peace deal. Starmer praised Trump's efforts to end the violence but stressed the importance of including Zelensky in all peace negotiations and called for continued sanctions on Russia to pressure an end to the war. Zelensky is scheduled to meet Trump at the White House for further talks, with the possibility of a trilateral meeting involving Putin to discuss peace terms.
