‘Once in a generation moment for security’: PM Starmer opens Ukraine defence summit in London

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Sunday (March 2) that he does not "trust" Russian President Vladimir Putin, stressing that a ceasefire without a security guarantee would be dangerous and "he would come again" if given the chance.&nbsp;
Hence the critical need for &ldquo;security guarantees&rdquo;, the UK prime minister said. Starmer has been insisting that without a security guarantee, the Russian president could attack Ukraine again and the situation could blow up into a wider war.
On the other hand, he said that he trusts Zelensky and Trump. When asked if Zelensky had done anything wrong, Starmer said, "he didn't", adding that the Ukrainian president has bravely served his country as a wartime leader since Russia&rsquo;s full-scale invasion was launched in February 2022.&nbsp;

<h2>'Felt uncomfortable'</h2>
Starmer said that he felt "uncomfortable" watching the argument between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.&nbsp;
The UK PM insisted that the focus has to be a "lasting peace" in Ukraine, adding that it is crucial for the security of Europe.&nbsp;
While talking to the BBC, when he was asked about the fiery conversation between Trump and Zelensky, Starmer said, "Nobody wants to see that", adding that he spoke to Trump and Zelensky on the phone after the heated exchange.

He said that the purpose has been to "bridge" tensions to get everyone back to the "central focus" of supporting Ukraine to "stop the fighting" in the long run.
While talking about lasting peace, Starmer said that the worst of all outcomes is for Russia to break the terms of an agreed ceasefire deal.&nbsp;
"What I am clear about is that if there is to be a deal, if there is to be a stopping of the fighting, then that agreement has to be defended, because the worst of all outcomes is that there is a temporary pause, and then Putin comes again," he stressed.&nbsp;
Calling it a "real risk", the UK PM said that this has happened in the past. "That is why we must ensure that if there&rsquo;s a deal, it&rsquo;s a lasting deal, not a temporary pause."

Top 10 world news: Zelensky arrives in UK; Gaza ceasefire phase one concludes, and more

US President Donald Trump hosted UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for high-stakes talks on Ukraine and a potential US-UK trade deal. Trump suggested a Ukraine peace deal is at a crucial stage and emphasized that Putin "keeps his word." Meanwhile, discussions on a trade agreement could help Britain avoid tariffs.

US President Trump and UK PM Starmer discuss Ukraine, trade and security commitments

Donald Trump has made his stance pretty clear: Europe must defend itself. He has now launched a fresh attack on the EU, and this comes as European capitals feel ignored after Washington sidelined them and opened a direct line with their enemy number one at the moment, Moscow.

US President Trump believes that Putin will keep his word on peace deal

With Trump threatening to pull back US troops, Europe faces a growing security crisis. Russia’s defense spending has surpassed Europe's, and its weapons production is outpacing NATO. As tensions rise, can Europe stand alone against Moscow, or is NATO still a formidable force without US support?

Ukraine's President Zelensky heads to Washington amidst battlefield losses and diplomatic uncertainty. The mineral rights agreement promises American access to rare earth minerals, but security guarantees for Kyiv remain conspicuously absent. So, is this a lifeline, or is this some kind of last-ditch losing gamble for Zelensky?

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is landing in Washington tonight for what may be the most important diplomatic mission of his career: to convince US President Donald Trump. The meeting will be closely watched, as the UK is considered one of the closest allies of the United States. Whether Starmer can successfully persuade Trump to strike a deal remains the million-dollar question at this point. Watch in for more details!

UK PM's biggest diplomatic test: Can Starmer strike a deal with Trump?

Ahead of the Washington visit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to increase the United Kingdom's defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by the year 2027, with a long-term goal of reaching about 3% in the next Parliament.

UK rethinks spending amid global tensions

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit the United States for crucial talks aimed at bridging the gap between Europe and Donald Trump's administration. With the ongoing Ukraine conflict at the center of discussions, Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have praised Trump’s efforts toward “durable peace.” The visit is expected to shape future transatlantic relations and Europe's role in global security.

Ahead of the Washington visit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to increase the UK’s defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, with a long-term goal of reaching 3% in the next parliament. The UK currently spends 2.3% of GDP on defence, and this move marks the largest sustained military budget increase since the Cold War. Starmer outlined that the rise will be funded by reducing overseas development aid from 0.5 to 0.3 percent of GDP, a decision that signals a shift in government priorities toward military modernization and nato commitments.

As the US shifts its global security focus, European nations are openly debating the need for a homegrown nuclear deterrent. France has offered its nuclear shield, while Germany is seeking security guarantees from the UK and France. With Trump's retreat from NATO commitments, is Europe on its own against nuclear threats?
