Keir Starmer Delivers Stark Warning To Donald Trump About His Attitude Towards Putin

Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks to ship builders during a visit to BAE Systems Scotstoun, in Glasgow, Scotland, Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025.Keir Starmer has issued a stark warning to Donald Trump about his approach towards Vladimir Putin. The prime minister said the Russian president “could not be trusted” over attempts to end the war in Ukraine.Trump has repeatedly insisted that he will be able to broker a peace deal with Putin, despite the fact there has been no let-up in Russia’s bombardment of its neighbour.The US president literally rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska last month, but the meeting broke up without any breakthrough.Russia wants Ukraine to hand over the whole of the Donbas region as part of any deal, but has refused to agree to a ceasefire while peace talks take place.Starmer told a meeting of the “coalition of the willing” countries backing Ukraine that “Putin could not be trusted as he continued to delay peace talks and simultaneously carry out egregious attacks on Ukraine”.“That was further underlined by the indiscriminate attacks in Kyiv last week, causing significant damage to the British Council and EU delegation buildings,” he added. The PM’s comments appear to put him at Trump’s more optimistic assessment of the war, which began in 2022 with Russia’s invasion.In an interview with CBS on Wednesday, the president said: “I’ve been watching it, I’ve been seeing it, and I’ve been talking about it with President Putin and President Zelenskyy.“Something is going to happen, but they are not ready yet. But something is going to happen. We are going to get it done.”Related...Putin Ally Calls David Lammy 'The English Idiot' As He Threatens To Seize British AssetsFarage Branded 'Putin-Loving Trump Wannabe' By US Politician In Brutal SlapdownTrump Is Confident He Will End Ukraine War As Putin Seems Unmoved
