![]() 633 Wednesday, 12 March, 2025, 09:45 British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed support Tuesday for a peace agreement reached in Saudi Arabia and hailed the breakthrough as a crucial step toward ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Delegations from the US and Ukraine began talks earlier Tuesday in the Saudi city of Jeddah to discuss prospects for a possible peace deal with Russia. A joint statement declared Kyiv's readiness to accept a US proposal to enact an "immediate, interim" 30-day ceasefire.

He called it a “remarkable breakthrough.” “The ball is now in the Russian court,” he said. “Russia must now agree to a ceasefire and an end to the fighting too.” |
