March 15, 2025 (EIRNS)—U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer came out of the March 15, second meeting of the “coalition of the willing”—he convened the first such meeting in London’s Lancaster House on March 2—with a mafia-like message for Russian President Vladimir Putin. “President Zelenskyy has shown once again, and beyond any doubt, that Ukraine is the party of peace. Volodymyr has committed to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. But Putin is trying to delay—saying there must be a painstaking study before a ceasefire can take place,” Starmer said in a press statement after the meeting.
“Well, the world needs action. Not a study, not empty words and conditions,” Starmer continued. “So my message is very clear. Sooner or later, Putin will have to come to the table. So, this is the moment, let the guns fall silent, let the barbaric attacks on Ukraine, once and for all, stop and agree to a ceasefire now.”
Starmer’s coalition “won’t sit back and wait for Putin to act,” he declared. “Instead we will keep pushing forward.”
