Intel stock spikes after report of possible US government stake
Investing.com -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine, while emphasizing that Kyiv must be directly involved in any peace settlement, according to statements from his spokesperson on Monday.
The comments come as President Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, a meeting that has raised concerns in Ukraine that the two leaders might attempt to dictate terms for ending the conflict that has now lasted three and a half years.
"We will never trust President Putin as far as you can throw him, but we will support Ukraine and President Trump and European nations as we enter these negotiations," Starmer’s spokesperson told reporters.
The British government maintained a firm position on Ukraine’s sovereignty, with the spokesperson adding: "Any peace must be built with Ukraine, not imposed upon it, and we will not reward aggression or compromise sovereignty. Ukraine will decide its own future, and we will support it every step of the way."
