Starmer Slams Putin’s Hollow Promises Ahead Of Ukraine Ceasefire Talks

As Kyiv’s allies prepared to gather in Paris on Thursday for a summit, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “promises are hollow” regarding any potential ceasefire with Ukraine.

“Unlike (Ukrainian) President (Vladimir) Zelensky, Putin has shown he’s not a serious player in these peace talks,” Starmer said.

“Playing games with the agreed naval ceasefire in the Black Sea despite good faith participation from all sides — all while continuing to inflict devastating attacks on the Ukrainian people. His promises are hollow,” he said.

The British leader said the United States “is playing a leading role by convening the ceasefire talks”, adding, “President Zelensky has demonstrated his commitment repeatedly, and Europe is stepping up to play its part to defend Ukraine’s future.

“Now Putin needs to show he’s willing to play ball,” Starmer added.
