Keir Starmer: “We need a coalition of the willing to support Ukraine if a peace deal is reached.”

Throughout this conflict, I have seen the incredible fortitude of the Ukrainian people and the iron will of a nation that refuses to be cowed.

Ukraine in many senses is the defining cause of our time because this is a fight about the values of democracy and freedom that are hugely important to the United Kingdom.

I go with good grace, I go with a smile, and I go proud of everything we have achieved.

In six and a half years, I took our party from a historic defeat in 2019, changed it so it was fit to face the country and won a landslide general election victory in 2024.
