Keir Starmer has broken his silence following US Vice President JD Vance’s recent interview comments.
Sitting down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity this week, Vance explained that the heated discussions between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at The White House on Friday (28 February) ‘really set Zelenskyy off’.
“He showed a clear unwillingness to engage in the peace process that President Trump said is the policy,” he said.
That’s the real breakdown. I think Zelenskyy wasn’t yet there. And frankly, still isn’t there. But I think he’ll get there eventually, he has to.”
Seemingly taking aim at the UK, Vance was accused of discussing the UK’s ‘coalition of the willing’ proposal, which would see troops from the UK and France acting as peacekeepers in the event of a ceasefire.
After the summit of European leaders on Sunday (2 March) Keir Starmer said a handful of countries – specifically Britain and France – were ready to form a ‘coalition of the willing’ to keep the peace.
