British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday, followed by a conversation with US President Donald Trump, according to a UK government spokesperson.
During the call with Zelenskyy, Starmer reaffirmed the United Kingdom’s “steadfast support for Ukraine.” He also discussed the US peace plan with Trump, and both leaders agreed that British and American teams would coordinate on the plan during upcoming talks in Geneva on Sunday.
Earlier on Friday, Starmer said that Ukraine must be free to decide its own affairs when asked about his view of US efforts to end the war. Speaking to British broadcasters in South Africa, Starmer said, “All matters to do with Ukraine must be determined ultimately by Ukraine.”
