Starmer calls for stronger global support for Ukraine at G20 summit

At the G20 summit in Brazil, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the need for increased support for Ukraine, marking the conflict's 1,000th day. He argued that international backing is crucial despite concerns about waning support from the U.S. and EU. Starmer rejected claims that U.S. funding for Ukraine has dried up, highlighting ongoing military training and financial aid. He stated that allowing Russia to win would have severe consequences for global stability, including for the UK. Starmer also addressed domestic issues, defending the recent budget and its focus on long-term investments in healthcare and education. He maintained that the government is committed to a free debate on assisted dying, ensuring MPs can vote without pressure.
