United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently “shown his true face,” while stressing that the UK and the US are “working together to end the killing in Ukraine.”
“In recent days, Putin has shown his true face. Mounting the biggest attack since the invasion began. With yet more bloodshed and yet more innocents killed and unprecedented violations of NATO airspace … These are not the actions of someone who wants peace,” Starmer told a Chequers press conference alongside US President Donald Trump.
On his side, the US president went on to say that his Russian counterpart has “really let me down” over his efforts to end the Ukraine conflict. “I thought it would have been the easiest war to solve because of my relationship with Putin, but he’s let me down.”
