British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking at the European Political Community Summit in Tirana, spoke about the peace discussions, saying that Putin is not serious about posing a security problem in the country, stressing that he will face a package of sanctions against his country.
“It is important to work closely with our European partners to strengthen the UK’s relationship with the EU.”
We have stepped up our engagement with our European allies. We must understand that partnership is vital to restoring security. I am delighted to be the first British Prime Minister to visit Albania on a bilateral visit and to work with you as our partners.
I look forward to welcoming Antonio Costa to London on Monday for the first UK-EU summit. This is a very important moment to recognize that we need to tackle many of the challenges we face together. Only a common solution can solve these problems.
The most urgent challenge today is to secure a just and lasting peace. We must do more for our defense.
Last week, I announced another package of sanctions against the Russian shadow fleet to protect our structure from Putin.
If Russia does not sit down at the negotiating table, Putin will have to pay the price. Yesterday’s events are further proof that Putin is not serious about peace. “Russia is dilly-dallying and playing games, while Ukraine has proved that it is on the side of peace and leadership,” said the British Prime Minister.
