British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “welcomed” United States leader Donald Trump for setting a new deadline for Russia to end the conflict in Eastern Europe and called for peace talks. “It was clear Russia was the only barrier to peace, the leaders agreed,” Downing Street told the press. Meanwhile, Zelensky tweeted that he and Starmer discussed Russia’s recent attacks on his country, defense cooperation, and sanctions against Moscow. Previously, Trump shortened the deadline of 50 days he gave to Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine to ten days.
NN: Putin is not about to back down. Not with victory so close.
