Starmer Urges Increased Ukraine Support at G20

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the need for continued international support for Ukraine at the G20 summit, coinciding with the 1,000th day of Russia's invasion. He expressed concerns over wavering global backing, particularly with President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming term potentially impacting US support. Starmer highlighted the significance of recent developments, including North Korean troops aiding Russia, which poses serious implications for European and Indo-Pacific security. He intends to lobby US President Biden for enhanced military support for Ukraine, particularly regarding the use of long-range missiles. Starmer reiterated that the UK will stand by Ukraine for as long as necessary, despite the complexities of international relations, including calls for a peace deal with Russia. Meanwhile, legislation on assisted dying will also be debated in Parliament, marking a significant moment for UK lawmakers to address the contentious issue since 2015.
