He shared that this peace plan will be presented to the United States. “I believe we’ve taken a step in the right direction,” Starmer told Laura Kuenssberg on BBC.

Starmer also outlined three key elements for lasting peace:

  1. A "strong Ukraine" that can continue fighting if necessary and be in a strong position to negotiate.
  2. A European component with security guarantees.
  3. A US backstop.

He emphasized that "all three" of these must be in place.
