PM wants to ‘see all allies stepping up’, saying Donald Trump’s threat of sanctions has rattled Vladimir Putin
Keir Starmer has called on European leaders to put more economic pressure on Russia, saying Donald Trump’s threat of sanctions has left Vladimir Putin “rattled”.
“I’m here to work with our European partners on keeping up the pressure, targeting the energy revenues and the companies supplying his missile factories to crush Putin’s war machine. Because ultimately, alongside our military support, that is what will bring peace closer.” The UK believes Putin is facing mounting domestic pressure from inflation and high interest rates as a result of the struggling economy, having ploughed billions into bankrolling the war in Ukraine.
Starmer is to meet the Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte, on Monday before his attendance at an informal European defence cooperation meeting. The prime minister discussed Ukraine at a meeting with the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, in Chequers on Sunday. A spokesperson said Starmer had stressed that it was “important to ensure was in the strongest possible position in the coming months, so that peace could be achieved through strength”.
