Lammy: Putin must agree to a just and lasting peace

Speaking after talks with counterparts from the US and Europe, the Foreign Secretary declared: "We must see a just and lasting peace".

It comes as America warned it could walk away from trying to broker a deal with Russia within days.

Mr Lammy travelled to Paris for the first top-level discussions between British, French and White House officials since February, when Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French president Emmanuel Macron visited Washington separately.

Mr Lammy said: "In a volatile world, unity is our strength. The meet ings with France, the US, Ukraine, and Germany underscore our shared commitment to global security.

"We must see a just and lasting peace in Ukraine and stability in the Middle East.
