TIRANA:

Starmer spoke from Albania's capital, Tirana, where leaders of dozens of European countries were gathered for the European Political Community (EPC) summit attended by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"We just had a meeting with President Zelensky and then a phone call with President Trump to discuss the developments in the negotiations today, and the Russian position is clearly unacceptable," Starmer told reporters. "As a result of that meeting with President Zelensky, under discussion with President Trump, we are now closely aligning and coordinating our responses and will continue to do so," he said.
