Speaking at a news conference after the summit, Starmer said four points had been agreed:

to keep military aid flowing into Ukraine, and to keep increasing the economic pressure on Russia
that any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security and Ukraine must be present at any peace talks in the event of a peace deal,

to boost Ukraine's defensive capabilities to deter any future invasion to develop a "coalition of the willing" to defend a deal in Ukraine and to guarantee peace afterwards

Sir Keir also announced an additional 1.6bn ($2bn) of UK export finance to buy more than 5,000 air defence missiles. This comes on top of a 2.2bn loan to provide more military aid to Ukraine backed by profits from frozen Russian assets.

''

"We have to learn from the mistakes of the past, we cannot accept a weak deal... which Russia can breach with ease, instead any deal must be backed by strength," he said.

The prime minister did not state which countries had agreed to join this coalition of the willing, but said that those who had committed would intensify planning now, with real urgency.

The UK, he said, would back its commitment with "boots on the ground, and planes in the air".

.

Turkey has already said previously that they want their Troops to be first on the ground as Peacekeepers in Ukraine.

Vlad is upset that his campaign to disrupt Britain and France hasn't werked as well as his campaign in the US that helped him get very own twice elected President.

His ownership of Trump is his hole card, and he's planning on winning with it.

This is funny because they want to take the four-point plan to work with Ukraine to end the war back to Trump to get his approval.

Why not take it to Putin?

Trump might not get a pat on the head and his doggie bone from Vlad if Zelenskyy goes directly to Putin.

Besides, I doubt he wants to be in the same room as the child murderer Vlad... or his doggy Donald, either, really.
