'Putin does not want peace' - PM

The Chronicle

|

December 04, 2025

VLADIMIR Putin does not want to reach a deal over the Ukraine war, Sir Keir Starmer said after five hours of talks with US envoys at the Kremlin ended with no breakthrough.

The Prime Minister said the UK would continue work to “put pressure on in every conceivable way", including by “doing as much damage to the Russian economy as we can” through sanctions.

Earlier, the Russian leader accused Kyiv's European allies of sabotaging the US-led efforts to end the war and rejected changes proposed by Ukraine and Europe to a draft peace plan as unacceptable.

He also said Moscow was “ready” for war with Europe, in comments dismissed as “sabre-rattling" and “claptrap" by the UK Government.
