“We must continue to pressure Putin. Economic pressure works, and it should be strengthened through new sanctions,” said the British Prime Minister. He emphasized that Russia’s aggression threatens not only Ukraine’s sovereignty but also “the values and freedoms of all Europeans,” making the fight against the Kremlin a shared responsibility for all allies.
Starmer also highlighted the importance of strengthening NATO, mentioning the deployment of British aircraft to Poland to enhance air defense and joint allied actions against drone attacks. He warned that recently, Russia has been attempting to interfere with European security in various ways — through airspace violations, cyberattacks, and other forms of aggression.
The British Prime Minister added that support for Ukraine must continue, including the supply of air defense systems, long-range weapons, and counter-drone equipment, as well as efforts on a reparations loan from frozen Russian assets.
