The prime minister says leaders at the summit agreed four important steps:

To keep military aid flowing into Ukraine while the war is ongoing, and increase economic pressure on Russia

Any lasting peace must ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty and security, and Ukraine must be at the table for any peace talks

In the event of a peace deal, European leaders will aim to deter any future invasion by Russia into Ukraine

There would be a “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine and guarantee peace in the country

Will be interesting to see how Trump reacts to this.

Never thought that the honor of "leader of the free world" would go to Starmer, but I'm happy to see it.

When Rubio announces next week that we're out of NATO and that we're forming a new alliance with Russia, China, and their cohorts, Trump will be the leader of... nothing. He will do as he's told, and let Putin and Xi run things.

Putin will tell him that it's because the new guy. The simple fact is that it's because Putin knows that Trump's a moron who's outlived his usefulness.
