Sir Keir Starmer reiterated his position that “Ukraine must determine its future” following a call with European leaders.The Prime Minister told broadcasters: “I just had a call with President Zelensky, alongside President Macron and Chancellor Merz.“And that was an opportunity for us to express, again, our support for Ukraine and the principle that’s very important, which is all matters to do with Ukraine must be determined ultimately by Ukraine.“Now we all want a just and lasting peace. That’s what the president of America wants. That’s what we all want.“And so we need to work from where we are to that end.“But the principle that Ukraine must determine its future under its sovereignty is a fundamental principle.”He added: “I know that’s what President Trump wants, and he’s been working to that end, but we must reiterate the principle that the matters about Ukraine must be determined by Ukraine.”
00:00Well, I've just had a call with President Zelensky alongside President Macron and Chancellor Mertz and that was an opportunity for us to express again our support for Ukraine and the principle that's very important, which is all matters to do with Ukraine must be determined ultimately by Ukraine.
00:29And we all want a just and lasting peace. That's what the President of America wants. That's what we all want. And so we need to work from where we are to that end. But the principle that Ukraine must determine its future under its sovereignty is a fundamental principle.
00:47How do you feel when you read the project? What do you feel about it?
00:50Well, it reinforced in me that basic principle that we have to work from where we are to the just and lasting peace. I know that's what President Trump wants and he's been working to that end.
01:02But we must reiterate the principle that matters about Ukraine must be determined by Ukraine.
