"The Prime Minister Keir Starmer was unequivocal that there could be no talks about Ukraine, without Ukraine.
“Ukraine needed strong security guarantees, further lethal aid and a sovereign future, and it could count on the UK to step up."
The Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s commitment to Ukraine being on an irreversible path to NATO, as agreed by Allies at the Washington Summit last year."

“I would tell Russia: you are in a position of weakness, not strength."
“You are losing 1,500 troops per day [killed and wounded]. You are spending a third of your budget on war. Your economy is distorted. And you’ve got a range of allies determined to stay with Ukraine because they recognize that the front line of Europe’s defense starts in Ukraine.
"Moscow are jumping ahead of events."

BRUSSELS — British Defense Secretary John Healey on Thursday warned Russia against interpreting the United States' willingness to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine as a sign of victory. “I would tell them [Russia]: you are in a position of weakness, not strength,” he said in response to a question from The Moscow Times on the sidelines of the NATO defense ministers' conference. “You are losing 1,500 troops per day [killed and wounded]. You are spending a third of your budget on war.
"Zelensky says what we also repeat — talks about Ukraine cannot happen without Ukraine. Ukraine must be involved. It’s just common sense. There can be no settlement, no lasting peace or security, without Ukraine at the heart of the process."

Defence Secretary,
U.K.
U.K. Defence Secretary John Healey was very subtly trolling Donald Trump last night with his comments at the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, so I'll repeat the comment, with Caps Lock so they might notice.
"Talks about Ukraine cannot happen without Ukraine. Ukraine must be involved. It’s just COMMON SENSE."
It's not rocket science.
"Talks about Ukraine cannot happen without Ukraine. Ukraine must be involved. It’s just COMMON SENSE."
