Sat Mar 15 00:37:05 UTC 2025: ## UK PM Accuses Putin of Stonewalling US-Brokered Ukraine Ceasefire
**London, UK** – UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of insincerity regarding a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. Starmer’s comments follow Putin’s expression of skepticism about the feasibility of the Trump administration’s plan.
“We can’t allow President Putin to play games with President Trump’s deal,” Starmer stated, accusing Putin of attempting to delay a ceasefire rather than pursuing peace. The Prime Minister characterized the Kremlin’s response as a demonstration of their lack of commitment to ending the conflict.
Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron are spearheading a coalition of nations to provide security guarantees to Ukraine, should a ceasefire be implemented. This coalition, which includes support from the US, aims to deter Russia from violating any agreement. While Starmer and Macron have indicated a willingness to deploy British and French troops, the participation of other nations remains uncertain. Turkey has expressed potential involvement in peacekeeping, while Ireland has ruled out deploying troops.
Prime Minister Starmer will participate in a virtual summit on Saturday, seeking commitments from European and NATO allies regarding support for Ukraine during a potential ceasefire.
