Prime minister uses call with Ukraine president to restate UK support in face of Trump interventions
Summary
UK Labour leader Keir Starmer reaffirmed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukraine is on an "irreversible path" to NATO membership.
This stance contrasts with recent U.S. signals, where Donald Trump suggested potential concessions to Russia, including accepting Ukraine's non-NATO status.
European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, have criticized such concessions, insisting on Ukraine's right to negotiate its future.
The UK also imposed new sanctions on Russian officials and entities.
