“Straight away,” according to Sir Keir Starmer, Russia can put an end to the conflict in Ukraine, having initiated it.
It follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion that Moscow would consider the firing of Western missiles into Russia to constitute a significant war escalation. The US and other European nations that are members of NATO will “mean nothing other than the direct participation of NATO countries in the war in Ukraine,” Putin stated on Russian state television.
On Friday, Sir Keir will meet with US President Joe Biden in Washington as representatives of Kyiv’s allies consider granting the country permission to launch missiles at targets located within Russia. “It is their direct participation,” he explained. “And, of course, this significantly alters the nature and essence of the conflict.” “We will take corresponding decisions based on the threats that will be created to us,” he continued.
When asked about his reaction to the comments made during his flight to Washington, the prime minister repeatedly stated in a firm manner that Russia was the one who initiated the war. “This conflict was initiated by Russia. Ukraine was unlawfully occupied by Russia. Russia can put an immediate end to this crisis,” he declared. “To reiterate, Russia was the one who started this in the first place,” he further stated. They are the ones breaking the law; they are the ones who started the fight.
A diplomatic blitz is underway between the prime minister and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, as the allies of Ukraine debate how to react to Iran’s increased armaments assistance for Russia. Senior officials’ public comments remain circumspect when questioned about the possibility of approving the employment of the Anglo-French cruise missile known as Storm Shadow.
Without denying that the topic is on the agenda, the prime minister told reporters, “There are really important developments likely in the next few weeks and months, both in Ukraine and the Middle East, and therefore a number of tactical decisions ought to be taken.” He mentioned that Lammy and Blinken had just returned from a trip to Ukraine. “They’re clearly with us to report on the process while on a very significant joint excursion.”
