Keir Starmer and European leaders express concern over Trump Ukraine peace plan

Sir Keir Starmer and other European leaders have expressed 'concern' over Donald Trump 's plan to end the war in Ukraine .With the situation on a knife-edge, the Prime Minister and other European leaders - who had appeared blindsided by the proposals - began discussing alternatives on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Johannesburg on Saturday.They said the proposal would 'require additional work' and expressed concerns about the proposal to limit Kyiv 's armed forces.In a joint statement issued following their meeting this afternoon, the leaders also stressed that 'borders must not be changed by force'.Under the humiliating 28-point White House-Kremlin plan, Ukraine would cede territory its troops have defended since February 2022, slash the size of its military and sacrifice its sovereignty.In return, sanctions against Russia would be lifted and, crucially for Vladimir Putin , the country would be 'reintegrated into the global economy'.
