The Prime Minister has emphasized the significance of a “once in a generation moment” for collaboration among the UK, US, and Europe, while expressing concerns about potential “divisions” within NATO. This statement coincides with the presence of two senior American officials in Saudi Arabia, engaging in peace discussions between Russia and Ukraine.
Sir Keir Starmer highlighted the UK’s commitment to fostering unity between the US and Europe in light of the challenges posed by Russia. His remarks followed those of the Ukrainian president, who noted that the era of unwavering American support for Europe has shifted.
On Saturday, US officials announced that Europe would not participate in the forthcoming peace negotiations related to the conflict. Furthermore, Washington has circulated a questionnaire to European capitals, inquiring about their potential contributions to security guarantees for Kyiv.
Sir Keir asserted that it is essential for Europe to adopt a more prominent role within NATO in these evolving circumstances.
