The unity of the past week has put the ball in Russia's court

In diplomacy, the focus is often on where we disagree. But Britain and our partners are stronger when we stand together. Last week’s G7 meeting made that clear.

We arrived in Canada with real momentum. Our Ukrainian and American friends deserve a lot of credit for the breakthrough at Jeddah - with British diplomacy, from the prime minister down, making a big difference behind the scenes.

With presidential envoy Steve Witkoff touching down in Moscow as we met in Quebec, it was crucial that Ukraine's allies showed unity.

Some may have doubted we could find common ground. But after 36 hours of talks, we agreed a clear set of messages - for Moscow, but also for Tehran and Pyongyang.

We united in wanting a comprehensive, just and lasting peace, with Ukraine remaining democratic, free, strong and prosperous. We want to see the fighting stop, and for that to endure.

We united in supporting a 30-day ceasefire on air, land and sea without conditions. We want to use this as a window to agree terms ensuring a just and lasting peace.
