0:14

professor John Meer he writes at me

0:17

shimmer. substack

0:27

docomo and uh in meeting with zalinski

0:31

with Ukrainian President Vladimir

0:32

zalinski the European commission

0:34

president Ursula ban promised that even

0:38

as Donald Trump appears to be walking

0:40

away from Ukraine Europe will not

0:42

announce that a new 3.5 billion Euro

0:47

payment for

0:48

Ukraine will arrive already in

0:52

March second as president Costa just has

0:56

announced there will be a special

0:58

European Council and I will present at

1:01

this special European Council a

1:03

comprehensive plan for defense

1:06

investment for scaling up our European

1:09

arms production and defense capabilities

1:13

but also for investment in Ukraine’s

1:16

defense industry scaling up your arms

1:19

production your defense capabilities so

1:22

this will be a plan for the European

1:24

Union and for

1:27

Ukraine so that’s Earth Ura vandan the

1:31

president of the European commission

1:33

promising to scale up military support

1:36

for Ukraine johir shimer you’ve been

1:38

studying this war for a long time what

1:42

do you make of of Europe’s rally and

1:44

call behind Ukraine and can it make a

1:45

difference on the

1:47

battlefield no look the Biden

1:51

Administration which was in office up

1:55

until January 20th this of this year a

1:59

month ago the Biden administration had

2:01

been in office for four years it was

2:04

firmly committed to doing everything it

2:07

could to help Ukraine defeat

2:11

Russia and it could not succeed it

2:14

failed we couldn’t do it for the past

2:18

two years the Russians have prevailed on

2:23

the battlefield the tide turned against

2:26

Ukraine and we couldn’t fix the problem

2:28

we meaning the Americans and the

2:31

Europeans we now have a situation where

2:34

the Americans are going home they’re

2:38

done with Ukraine they’re not interested

2:40

in providing any support so all that’s

2:43

left is the

2:44

Europeans Common Sense tells you if the

2:47

Americans and the Europeans together

2:50

couldn’t fix the problem in 2023 2024

2:55

and

2:56

2025 how are the Europeans going to fix

2:59

the problem

3:01

furthermore if you look inside these

3:03

European countries and what’s happening

3:06

Germany is in deep trouble

3:10

economically uh furthermore its military

3:13

is in terrible shape the British

3:17

Military and the British economy are in

3:20

terrible shape the British army has not

3:23

been this small since

3:26

1714 that’s

3:28

1714 what do you Europeans going to do

3:31

here they don’t have the military might

3:32

they don’t have the economic might and

3:34

now the Americans have been taken out of

3:36

the

3:37

equation uh I just wonder what people

3:41

are thinking when they talk like her it

3:44

just makes no sense at all what you want

3:47

to do here for the Ukrainian sake right

3:51

is you want to settle this one as

3:53

quickly as possible because as I said

3:55

before the longer it goes on the more

3:58

ukrainians who die and more territory

4:01

they lose so I would argue from a

4:03

strategic point of view and a moral

4:05

point of view I want to underline that

4:07

word moral from a moral point of view

4:11

people who think like you and I Aaron

4:13

are on the right side and people who

4:15

want to continue this war are pursuing

4:19

what is a morally bankrupt strategy uh

4:23

we have to end this war it makes no

4:25

sense to continue it because we have no

4:28

way of winning it

4:30

well let me put to you a Counterpoint

4:32

from the uh leader of Denmark uh this is

4:36

Mee Frederickson the prime minister of

4:38

Denmark who just said this I understand

4:41

that many people think that a peaceful

4:43

solution or a ceasefire sounds like a

4:45

good idea but we run the risk that peace

4:49

in Ukraine is actually more dangerous

4:52

than war that is going on right now we

4:55

run the risk that peace in Ukraine is

4:57

actually more dangerous than the war

5:00

that is going on now so according to the

5:02

prime minister of Denmark Professor M

5:03

shimer peace with Russia is more

5:07

dangerous than

5:09

War I I I’m guilty Aaron of overusing

5:14

the word delusional but I can’t help

5:17

myself this is delusional what is she

5:20

talking about I mean sometimes these

5:22

people make the argument that if we

5:24

settle with Putin in Ukraine and he wins

5:28

this stunning Victory he gets what he

5:30

wants he’s then going to uh take uh

5:34

countries in Eastern Europe he’s going

5:35

to recreate the Russian Empire and so

5:38

forth and so on this is nonsensical as

5:41

we’ve been talking here the interesting

5:43

question is how much of Ukraine he takes

5:46

he’s not gonna take all of

5:48

Ukraine I hope he only takes the 20%

5:52

that he’s now taken the roughly 20% the

5:54

four oblas plus Crimea I hope for

5:57

Ukraine’s sake he doesn’t take Odessa

6:00

harke and places like that uh but he’s

6:04

not going to take the Western half of

6:06

Ukraine he would be insane uh because

6:09

it’s filled with ethnic ukrainians who

6:12

hate Russians and he’d have a major

6:14

Insurrection on his hands so he’s going

6:17

to take at most 40% of Ukraine hopefully

6:21

he’ll only take

6:22

20% uh so what is this argument that if

6:26

you know he gets his way uh in Ukraine

6:31

and you know takes a big slice of

6:33

territory in the East that that’s a

6:35

Prelude to him you know dominating

6:37

Eastern Europe it’s not going to happen

6:39

furthermore there’s the whole question

6:41

of capabilities have people not noticed

6:44

that this war has been going on for

6:46

three years and the Russians have had a

6:48

devil of a Time Conquering the Eastern

6:52

one of Ukraine right they they’ve Not

6:56

Conquered all the territory in those

6:58

four oblock that they’ve annexed just

7:01

very important to emphasize this the

7:03

Russian army is not the second coming to

7:06

the vermar this is not Germany

7:08

overrunning Poland in September

7:11

1939 uh the Russians just don’t have

7:14

that kind of military capability the

7:16

idea that they’re gonna conquer Poland

7:18

or Romania this is not going to happen

7:20

and they’re not even going to conquer

7:22

all of Ukraine as I said so what you

7:24

want to do is you want to get a peace

7:25

settlement here you want to stop all the

7:28

killing I think by the way Aaron when

7:30

people finally find out how many

7:33

ukrainians have died and how many have

7:36

been badly wounded they’re going to be

7:39

stunned I think the number is going to

7:41

be remarkably High I think the

7:43

ukrainians have paid a god aul price uh

7:46

for fighting this war and that’s all the

7:49

more reason you know to shut it down now

7:52

uh and uh especially when again you

7:55

consider that continuing the war is not

7:57

going to make it any better from the

7:58

Ukrainian point view they’re not going

8:00

to turn the tide here they’re not going

8:02

to push the Russians back towards the

8:04

Russian border it’s not going to happen

8:06

if anything the Russians are going to

8:08

take more territory so cut a deal

8:11

now someone who shoulders a lot of

8:13

responsibility for the fact that so many

8:15

people have died and and that a deal was

8:17

not reached is the former British prime

8:19

minister Boris Johnson who personally

8:21

intervened to help block the April 2022

8:24

peace negotiations between Russia and

8:26

Ukraine and Istanbul and this is Boris

8:28

Johnson speaking recently this was right

8:30

before the US election so late last year

8:33

about the war in Ukraine which he

8:36

accurately called a proxy war we are n

8:39

let’s face it we’re waging a proxy war

8:42

we’re waging a proxy war but we’re not

8:45

giving our proxies the ability to do the

8:49

job and and for for years and years now

8:52

we’ve been allowing them to fight with

8:54

one hand tied behind their backs and it

8:57

has been cruel it has been cruel and

9:03

more and we need now to give them what

9:06

they need we

9:08

so so that’s Boris Johnson accurately

9:12

calling this a proxy war but rather than

9:14

advocating shutting it down as professor

9:16

John mimer has calling for it to

9:18

continue and for the uh NATO to give

9:21

Ukraine even more weapons than it

9:22

currently has John sham we’re GNA wrap

9:24

any final comments for us I would just

9:27

say that I I believe that argument is

9:29

morally reprehensible the the argument

9:32

that we’re going to use ukrainians to

9:35

bleed the Russians white we’re gonna

9:38

throw ukrainians into this meat grinder

9:41

uh so that they can do damage to Russia

9:44

it’s crazy first of all Russia is not a

9:47

serious threat to the west and

9:49

furthermore the idea that you’re

9:50

throwing ukrainians uh into the meat

9:53

grinder you’re uh creating this

9:56

situation where you know hundreds of

9:59

thousands thousands of ukrainians are

10:00

dying for some pointless strategic

10:03

reason uh is really just horrible I just

10:08

wonder what people like Boris Johnson

10:10

are

10:11

thinking I only regret that people like

10:14

Boris Johnson can’t put a uniform on and

10:16

be sent uh to the Eastern front in

10:21

Ukraine and spend a couple years they

10:23

fighting these battles I think that if

10:25

they did that they’d have a better view

10:29

of have had to deal with this problem in

10:31

fact I think they’d want to shut it down

10:32

as quickly as

10:35

possible John me shimer leading

Trump-Zelenskyy latest: Starmer to provide defense missiles to Ukraine | LiveNOW from FOX

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q6AjIKgVXo)

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the U.K. will use 1.6 billion pounds, which is equal to $2 billion, to supply air defense missiles for Ukraine. Starmer said he spoke with President Donald Trump last night

Trankripzioa:

0:02

to strengthen our

0:03

relationship with America.

0:06

and indispensable partners.

0:07

in defense. and security.

0:09

And it’s why this weekend.

0:11

I’ve been hosting European

0:12

leaders here in London. To

0:15

work together. for the

0:17

security of the United

0:18

Kingdom, Ukraine. and

0:20

Europe as a whole. Through

0:23

my discussions over recent

0:24

days. We’ve agreed that the

0:26

UK. France and others. will

0:29

work with you. praying on

0:31

a plan to stop the fighting.

0:33

Then we’ll discuss that

0:34

plan with the United

0:36

States. and take it Forward

0:38

together. The purpose of

0:41

today’s meeting was to

0:42

unite, our partners. around.

0:45

the settlement. Strengthen

0:46

Ukraine. and to support a

0:48

just an enduring peace.

0:50

For the good of all of us.

0:54

Our starting point must be.

0:56

To put Ukraine in the

0:57

strongest possible position.

0:58

now. so that they can

1:01

negotiate. from that

1:02

position of strength. And

1:04

we are doubling down in

1:06

our support. Yesterday

1:09

evening. the UK. signed a

1:11

2.2 billion pound loan to

1:13

provide more military aid

1:14

to Ukraine, Backed, not by

1:17

the British taxpayer. but by

1:20

the profits from Frozen,

1:22

Russian assets. and today,

1:24

I’m announcing a new deal.

1:26

which allows you to

1:27

Crane to use 1.6 billion

1:29

pounds of UK. export

1:31

Finance. to buy more than

1:34

5,000. Air defense missiles.

1:36

Which will be made in

1:37

Belfast. creating jobs in

1:40

our brilliant defense sector.

1:42

This will be vital for

1:44

protecting critical

1:45

infrastructure. Now, and

1:47

strengthening Ukraine in

1:48

securing the peace. when

1:50

it comes. Because we have

1:52

to learn from the mistakes

1:54

of the past. We cannot

1:56

accept a weak deal, like

1:58

Minsk. Which Russia can

2:00

breach with ease? instead

2:03

any deal must be backed

2:04

by strength. Every Nation

2:07

must contribute. to that

2:09

in the best way that it

2:10

can. Bringing different

2:13

capabilities and support to

2:14

the table. By all taking

2:17

responsibility to act. All

2:19

stepping up. their own share

2:21

of the burden. so, we

2:24

agreed some important steps

2:25

today. We will keep the

2:29

military aid flowing. and

2:30

keeping the economic

2:32

pressure on Russia. To

2:34

strengthen Ukraine. Now,

2:37

Second. we agreed that any

2:39

lasting peace. must ensure

2:42

Ukraine sovereignty and

2:43

security. And Ukraine must

2:45

be at the table. Third.

2:49

in the event of a

2:51

peace deal. We will keep

2:53

boosting Ukraine’s, own

2:54

defensive capabilities. To

2:56

deter any future. invasion.

3:00

Forth. We will go first to

3:02

develop a coalition of the

3:04

willing. to defend a deal

3:06

in Ukraine. And to

3:08

guarantee the peace. Not

3:10

every nation will feel

3:12

able to contribute But

3:14

that can’t mean that we

3:15

sit back. instead those

3:18

willing will intensify

3:19

planning now. with real

3:21

urgency. The UK is

3:24

prepared to back this.

3:26

with boots on the ground.

3:27

and planes in the air.

3:29

together with others.

3:31

Europe must do the heavy

3:33

listing. but to support,

3:36

peace in our continent. and

3:37

to succeed. this effort

3:40

must have strong us

3:42

backing. We’re working with

3:44

the us on this point.

3:46

After my meeting with

3:47

President Trump last week.

3:50

And let me be clear. We

3:51

are agree with the

3:52

president. on the urgent.

3:54

Need for a durable. Peace.

3:56

Now. we need to deliver

3:58

together. Finally. we

4:01

agreed that leaders will

4:02

meet again very soon. To

4:04

keep the pace Behind these

4:06

actions. And to keep working

4:08

towards this shared plan.

4:11

We are at a Crossroads in

4:13

history today. This is not

4:15

a moment. for more talk.

4:18

It’s time to act. Time

4:19

to step up and Lead. and

4:22

to unite around a new plan.

4:24

for a just and enduring

4:26

peace. Thank you. I will

4:31

now take a number of

4:32

questions starting. I think.

4:35

with you Beth, uh at Sky.

4:39

Thank you. Prime minister.

4:41

watching. President Trump.

4:43

Berate a wartime president.

4:45

and defender of European.

4:47

freedom in the overall.

4:49

office. said to many

4:52

people, what you’ve already

4:54

said in a way that

4:55

everything has changed given

4:58

that the US has become An

5:01

unreliable. Ally. Did you as

5:04

European leaders? discuss

5:06

the prospect of actually

5:08

going it to learn? And

5:10

actually, what the reality

5:11

of a US pulling out of

5:13

this, all of this would

5:15

mean, uh, do you think you

5:18

really do need the US and

5:20

if you do, do you think the

5:22

coalition of the Willing

5:24

will be enough? to bring

5:26

president Trump back around?

5:27

Thank you. Well firstly in

5:29

relation to Last Friday

5:30

nobody wanted to see what

5:31

happened last. Um, Friday.

5:34

but I do not accept. uh,

5:36

that the US is an

5:37

unreliable. Ally. Uh, the US

5:39

has been a reliable Ally

5:41

to the UK for many, many

5:42

decades. And continues to

5:44

be There are no

5:45

2 countries. as closely

5:47

aligned as our 2 closely and

5:49

our defense, Our security

5:50

and intelligence is

5:51

intertwined um in a way no

5:54

2 other countries. are so

5:55

it’s an important. and

5:56

reliable Ally for us. the

5:58

discussions we’ve had today

6:00

particularly the Coalition

6:01

of the Willing is on the

6:03

basis that this is a plan

6:04

that we will work with.

6:06

with the US. Um, and that

6:08

it will have us. backing.

6:10

So that is the purpose.

6:12

uh, of the plan. And that

6:13

is uh, why I spoke to

6:15

president Trump last night?

6:17

before we developed the uh,

6:19

work on this plan?

6:20

Thank you. Uh, I’ve got

6:22

Robert. From ITV. Yeah. Uh

6:25

yeah. H president ITV. Um,

6:29

Sort of put you what will

6:30

be on the minds of

6:32

millions of British people.

6:34

Um, with your commitment,

6:36

in the event of a

6:38

peace deal to deploy.

6:39

British soldiers. To Ukraine

6:43

is there now? a more real

6:46

Prospect? of Britain? being

6:48

at war with Russia? Can you

6:50

rule that out? The. whole

6:53

point. of, a guarantee.

6:57

for, any dealer of the, the

6:59

if there is a deal, is to

7:01

preserve the peace. and if

7:03

you want to preserve the

7:04

piece you have to be

7:06

prepared to defend the

7:07

piece. So, the reason I’ve

7:08

been forward-leaning on

7:10

this, um, is because I want

7:12

to avoid conflict because I

7:13

do not want conflict in

7:15

Ukraine in Europe and

7:16

certainly not in the United

7:18

Kingdom. and wants

7:19

stability. in the United

7:20

Kingdom. the way to ensure

7:22

that stability is to

7:23

ensure that we are able

7:25

uh, to defend a deal in

7:26

Ukraine because the 1 Thing,

7:28

our history tells us is

7:30

that um, if there is

7:32

conflict in Europe, it

7:33

will wash up on our

7:34

Shores. and um already

7:36

in the last 3 years.

7:38

What’s happened in Ukraine

7:39

has had a massive impact on

7:41

uh, many working people.

7:43

back here in the United

7:43

Kingdom because their bills

7:45

have gone up. their energy

7:46

bills have gone up. There’s

7:47

been an instability in our

7:48

economy caused by that

7:50

conflict. So we are not

7:51

unaffected by it. Um, and

7:53

of course, our own security

7:54

and defense. uh depends on

7:56

the defense and security of

7:58

Europe. So, every step I am

8:00

taking is in order to

8:02

preserve peace to avoid

8:04

conflict. Um because the

8:06

Safety and Security of the

8:07

British people is my

8:08

number 1 Duty and

8:09

responsibility And I take

8:11

Take it very seriously.

8:12

Thank you. Uh, Chris at the

8:14

BBC. Thank you. Prime

8:16

minister. Chris Mason BBC

8:17

News After what happened

8:19

the other night between

8:20

President Trump and Selinsky.

8:21

Do you feel a greater

8:22

personal responsibility?

8:24

alongside president macron?

8:25

and others for delivering a

8:27

workable? piece? and on the

8:30

Coalition of the willing,

8:31

as you’ve described

8:33

its day, are you persuading

8:34

more people? to join it?

8:38

The question of

8:39

responsibility, I do think

8:40

the United Kingdom should

8:41

set up set up and, uh,

8:43

lead. um, we have done

8:44

that historically. um, as a

8:47

nation. Um, and we need to

8:49

do it. Um again and that

8:51

is why um, we’re moving

8:53

forward. um, on this

8:55

on the Coalition of the

8:56

willing. Yes. a number of

8:58

countries have indicated

8:59

today that they want to

9:01

um, be part of, um, the

9:03

plan that we are

9:04

developing I’ll leave them

9:05

to make their own

9:06

statements about exactly how

9:07

they want to make that

9:08

contribution. Um, but we’ve

9:10

been able to move that

9:11

forward, I accept without

9:13

criticism. and with

9:15

respect. Um, the position

9:16

of other countries that may

9:17

not feel um that they uh

9:20

want to contribute um in

9:21

that way. But I strongly

9:22

feel um, that unless some

9:25

move forward uh, we will

9:27

stay in the position. We’re

9:29

in um, and not be able to

9:31

move forward and therefore,

9:33

um, it is a deliberate. um,

9:36

plan to make sure that we,

9:39

um, get some momentum and

9:40

Pace here. Um and it is

9:43

intended to preserve the

9:44

piece and it’s intended to

9:46

ensure that we stay in

9:47

lock step with the United

9:48

States, which uh is my

9:51

strongly held belief. The

9:52

best way to preserve

9:53

Preserve Uh, security and

9:55

Defence in Europe and

9:56

security and defense in the

9:57

United Kingdom. Part of,

10:03

uh, the more forward-looking

10:04

element. um, I will rather

10:07

than speak for them in

10:08

terms of exactly how

10:09

they’ll, um make that.

10:10

known And what their

10:12

contribution will be. I’ll

10:13

leave that to them but I’m

10:14

pleased that a number did

10:16

indicate that um they do

10:17

think that this is um, a

10:19

plan worth backing. and

10:21

that they want to play a

10:22

part in it. And so, we’ve

10:23

made real progress today,

10:25

um, in the course of the

10:26

last few hours. Thank you.

10:28

Um, Alex. Thank you. Prime

10:31

minister, Alex, Wickham from

10:33

Bloomberg. I’m sorry. Um,

10:35

on your Coalition of the

10:36

Willing, Do you think it

10:37

can be bolstered by?

10:38

countries that aren’t just

10:39

in Europe? Uh, essentially?

10:41

we’ve got Canada represented

10:42

here today. Do you think,

10:43

you know, you could get

10:45

countries Beyond Europe to

10:46

join the Coalition of the

10:47

Willing, essentially make

10:48

it almost a transatlantic.

10:49

uh, partnership and um, also

10:51

in terms of your plan, uh,

10:53

to present back to Donald

10:54

Trump. How soon do you

10:55

need to get that done? Is

10:57

that something that really

10:57

needs to happen very

10:58

quickly? in days? Thank

10:59

you. Um, on the countries

11:01

beyond Canada. here. um who

11:04

have traditionally taken a

11:06

forward-leaning, um, role

11:07

they’ve been working very

11:08

hard with us on issues

11:09

like training. um, and

11:11

they’ve been a reliable.

11:13

Ally, And, um, I’m

11:14

encouraging of that, because

11:16

they are already deeply

11:17

vested in. um, Ukraine. As

11:19

I say they’ve worked on on

11:20

the training, uh, amongst

11:22

other things. Um, so um,

11:25

yes, on the question of,

11:27

um, the US look, I spoke to

11:29

president Trump last night.

11:30

I’m not going to go through

11:30

the details of that.

11:32

conversation, but I would not

11:33

be taking this step down

11:35

this road. Um, if I didn’t

11:37

think that it was something

11:39

that would yield um, a

11:41

positive outcome in terms

11:42

of ensuring that um, we

11:45

move together Ukraine

11:47

Europe, the UK and us uh,

11:50

together, towards a lasting

11:52

peace. And, uh, so that’s

11:53

the way I’ve, uh, approached

11:55

this in the last, uh, few

11:56

days. Um, Hugo from the

12:00

aye, aye news. Uh thank you

12:01

prime minister higo from

12:02

the ipaper. Um obviously,

12:03

the other party that would

12:05

need to sign up to any

12:06

future. peace deal is

12:08

Russia. uh, president Trump

12:09

has said he wants to talk

12:10

to Russia. You’re coming

12:12

up with a peace deal

12:13

without Russia’s

12:14

involvement. What makes you

12:14

think? that Russia can be

12:17

persuaded to sign up to

12:18

this deal. That’s been

12:19

agreed by its enemies.

12:20

Well, um in the end

12:25

of the deal we’ll have to

12:25

evolve Russia. Of course it

12:26

will

12:27

we can’t approach this on the

12:27

basis that Russia. dictates

12:28

the terms. of any security

12:30

guarantee before we’ve even

12:31

got to a deal. Otherwise um

12:33

we won’t make any progress.

12:35

uh at all. Um, it is um

12:38

you know for a deal to be

12:40

done but if a deal is

12:41

done it has to be a deal.

12:43

That is then defended.

12:45

Because what we’ve seen in

12:46

the past, is um, a cessation

12:50

of the hostilities without

12:52

any backup and that was

12:53

readily breached by Russia.

12:55

uh, and that is precisely

12:56

the situation that I think

12:58

we need to avoid this

12:59

time around which is why

13:00

we’re going down this road.

13:02

Um, Antonello. um, please

13:05

from Level Republica.

13:08

Thank you very much.

13:09

I’m glad about that from the

13:10

public. Um, the Italian Prime

13:12

Minister. the Georgia

13:13

Moni who you you had a

13:15

bilateral meeting earlier

13:16

today. Said that the West

13:17

must not split on the

13:19

Ukraine. How can you try to

13:21

convince melani and other

13:22

European leaders that your

13:23

plan and your conclusion

13:25

of the of the, of the

13:28

Willing sir is the right

13:28

thing? and to persuade

13:29

them to, uh, join and do

13:31

you fear that the West

13:33

might split on this.

13:34

Thank you. Well, um, I had a

13:37

very good bilateral. uh,

13:39

meeting with. Georgia

13:40

this morning. Um, we had the

13:42

first bilateral brunch,

13:44

I think in the history of

13:47

uh, British Italian relations

13:49

so that was a first Um, we

13:51

get on personally very

13:52

well. Um, and um, she’s very

13:55

clear in. I don’t want to

13:57

speak for her, but I mean, I

13:58

think her position is well

13:59

known. um, that um, Europe

14:03

and the US have to stand

14:04

together And that Bond

14:05

must always be strong. So,

14:07

there’s a huge amount of

14:09

common ground um, between

14:11

uh, the way I see this and

14:13

the way Georgia sees this,

14:14

um, particularly um, The

14:17

View that um, it is

14:19

important. for the security,

14:21

and defense. of Italy of

14:23

Europe and the United

14:24

Kingdom. uh, that we work

14:25

as we’ve always worked uh,

closely aligned

Starmer announces major UK military plan for Ukraine war

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVV67ZjQ_k0)

Starmer has said that western allies “must keep the military aid to Ukraine flowing” and increase economic pressure on Russia.

READ MORE: https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia…

Trump is considering cutting military aid to Ukraine as he seeks to bring an end to the conflict with Russia.

However, Starmer said: “We must keep the military aid to Ukraine flowing, keep increasing the economic pressure on Russia, and to that end, alongside our partnership on air defence, we are doubling down on military aid. Already this year, we have taken our support to record levels, but on Saturday, we also agreed a new £2.2 billion loan for Ukraine, backed not by the British taxpayer, but by the profits from frozen Russian assets.”

Starmer has said that Ukraine’s allies cannot accept “a weak deal” like the Minsk accords, signed in 2015 after Russia invaded Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

The prime minister said he was willing to deploy “boots on the ground and planes in the air” to secure peace as he pointed to the failure of previous peace deals.

He said that for Ukrainians the war did not begin three years ago, and said the invasion of 2022 was “merely the latest and most brutal escalation”.

Transkripzioa:

0:00

we see clearly before us the test of our

0:03

times AC Crossroads in our history I

0:06

announced a deal that perfectly

0:08

symbolizes the new

0:10

era a partnership with Ukraine that

0:13

allows them to use 1.6 billion pounds of

0:17

UK export Finance to buy 5,000 air

0:21

defense missiles manufactured in

0:25

Belfast Mr Speaker that means UK jobs UK

0:29

skills UK Finance pulling together for

0:32

our national interests putting Ukraine

0:35

in the strongest possible position for

0:38

peace and protecting innocent civilians

0:41

from the terror of Russian

0:43

drones Mr Speaker my efforts continued

0:47

on Thursday when I met met president

0:50

Trump in the White House to strengthen

0:53

our relationship with

0:56

America now what happened in his

0:59

subsequent meeting with president

1:01

zalinski is something nothing nobody in

1:04

this house wants to

1:07

see but I do want to be Crystal Clear we

1:11

must strengthen our relationship with

1:14

America for our security for our

1:17

technology for our trade and

1:20

investment they are and always will be

1:25

indispensable and we will never choose

1:28

between either side of the

1:30

Atlantic in fact Mr Speaker if anything

1:33

the past week has shown that that idea

1:36

is totally

1:38

unserious because while some people may

1:41

enjoy the Simplicity of taking

1:43

aide this week has shown with total

1:46

Clarity that the US is vital in securing

1:50

the peace we all want to see in

1:53

Ukraine so I welcome the opportunity for

1:56

a new economic deal with the US

1:58

confirmed by the president last week

2:01

because it’s an opportunity I’m

2:03

determined to

2:04

pursue I welcome the positive

2:07

discussions we had on European security

2:10

including his clear support for Article

2:13

Five of

2:15

NATO I welcome the understanding from

2:18

our dialogue that our two Nations will

2:21

work together on security arrangements

2:24

for a lasting peace in

2:27

Ukraine I also welcome the president’s

2:29

Contin commitment to that peace which

2:32

nobody in this house should doubt for a

2:34

second is

2:37

sincere Mr Speaker I now turn to the

2:40

events of this

2:42

weekend and the moving scenes that

2:44

greeted president zalinski as he arrived

2:46

in London on

2:48

Saturday Mr Speaker I saw for myself he

2:51

was taken back when the crowd in white

2:54

cheered at the top of their voices and

2:57

they were speaking for the whole of our

2:59

country

3:02

a reminder that this government this

3:04

house and this nation stand in

3:07

unwavering support behind him and the

3:10

people of

3:12

Ukraine Mr Speaker we resolved together

3:16

to move forward the St the strong cause

3:18

of just and Lasting peace in

3:21

Ukraine and then on Sunday I hosted

3:25

European leaders from across our

3:26

continent equally committed to this

3:29

cause

3:30

including president macron prime

3:32

minister Maloney the leaders of NATO the

3:35

European commission and Council and the

3:38

prime minister of Canada a vital Ally of

3:41

this country the Commonwealth and

3:44

Ukraine responsible for training over

3:46

40,000 Ukrainian

3:48

troops I also had the privilege

3:51

beforehand of speaking online to the

3:54

leaders of Estonia Lithuania and lvia

3:57

each of whom as close as they are to the

4:00

front line with Russia stressed the

4:03

urgency of the

4:05

moment and Mr Speaker it was a

4:07

productive Summit together we agreed a

4:10

clear

4:11

strategy that the United Kingdom France

4:15

and our allies will work closely with

4:17

Ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting

4:21

which we will then discuss directly with

4:23

the United

4:25

States it’s a plan that has four clear

4:28

principles which I’ll now share in full

4:30

with the

4:32

house first that we must keep the

4:35

military aid to Ukraine flowing keep

4:38

increasing the economic pressure on

4:40

Russia and to that end alongside our

4:43

partnership on air defense with doubling

4:46

down on military aid already this year

4:48

we’ve taken our support to record

4:51

levels but on Saturday we also agreed a

4:55

new 2.2 billion pound loan for Ukraine

4:58

backed not by the British taxpayer but

5:01

by the profits from Frozen Russian

5:06

assets second Mr Speaker we agreed that

5:09

any lasting peace must guarantee the

5:11

sovereignty and security of

5:13

Ukraine and that Ukraine must be at the

5:16

table when negotiating their future that

5:19

is absolutely

5:23

vital third we agreed that in the event

5:25

of a peace deal we will continue to

5:28

boost Ukraine’s defense def es and

5:30

Ukraine’s

5:32

deterrence and finally fourth we agreed

5:36

to develop a coalition of the Willing

5:39

ready to defend a deal in Ukraine and

5:43

guarantee the

5:44

peace Mr Speaker after all the Ukrainian

5:47

position is completely understandable

5:50

for them the war did not begin 3 years

5:53

ago that was merely the latest and most

5:57

brutal escalation

5:59

they have signed agreements with Putin

6:02

before they’ve experienced the nature of

6:04

his diplomacy and the caliber of his

6:07

word we cannot accept a weak deal like

6:10

mint

6:12

again no we must proceed with strength

6:16

and that does now require urgently a

6:19

coalition of the

6:21

Willing Mr Speaker we agreed on Sunday

6:25

that those willing to play a role in

6:27

this will intensify planning now now and

6:31

as this house would expect Britain will

6:33

play a leading

6:35

role with if necessary and together with

6:38

others boots on the ground and planes in

6:41

the air Mr Speaker it is right that

6:46

Europe do the heavy lifting to support

6:49

peace on our

6:51

continent but to succeed this effort

6:55

must also have strong us backing

7:00

I want to assure this house I take none

7:03

of this

7:04

lightly I’ve visited British troops in

7:08

Estonia and no aspect of my role weighs

7:11

more heavily than the deployment of

7:14

British troops in the service of defense

7:17

and Security in

7:19

Europe and yet I do feel very strongly

7:23

that the future of Ukraine is vital for

7:25

our national

7:27

security Russia is a men

7:30

in our Waters and skies they’ve launched

7:33

cyber attacks on our NHS assassinating

7:36

attempts in our

7:38

streets in this house we stand by

7:41

Ukraine because it’s the right thing to

7:44

do but we also stand by them because

7:47

it’s in our interest to do

7:51

so because if we do not achieve a

7:54

lasting peace then the instability and

7:57

insecurity that has hit the Liv

7:59

standards of working people in

8:01

Britain that will only get worse and

8:05

Putin’s appetite for conflict and Chaos

8:10

that will only

8:11

grow so a strong peace a just peace a

8:16

lasting piece that has now to be our

8:19

goal it is vital it is in our interests

8:23

and its Pursuit Britain will lead from

8:26

the front for the security of our

8:28

continent the security of our country

8:32

and the security of the British people

8:34

we must now win the peace and I commend

8:37

this statement to the house

8:40

[Applause]
