Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly agreed to a peace proposal brokered by the Trump administration.
It comes just hours after Vladimir Putin rejected Europe’s 28-point peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine by killing four people in his latest aerial strike.
Four people were killed, and three were injured in a strike on a non-residential building in Kyiv’s western Svyatoshynyi district, according to the head of Kyiv city administration.
But it seems Washington’s plan, which was slimmed down to 19 points, will move forward. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that it had not seen the updated plan, but if approved by both Russia and Ukraine, it could put an end to almost four years of fighting.
Later today, a meeting of the coalition of the willing will take place to plan the next steps in the peace process.
Starmer told parliament today: ‘I suspect I won’t be the whole of the agreement that needs to be reached because obviously the discussions so far have been predominantly Ukraine-US.
‘Obviously, there are European elements that are important, Nato elements that are important. Indeed, further discussions, and of course, none of this has been brought back to the Russian side yet.’
Asked whether Britain was still prepared to put boots on the ground, Sir Keir’s official spokesman said today: ‘If you’re asking me directly, is the UK still willing to put boots on the ground in the event of hostilities ceasing, the answer is yes.’

What is in the peace plan that Ukraine agreed to?

The full details of the agreement haven’t been made public, but we do know a bit about what each party has agreed to and denied.
The US proposal initially called for Ukraine to surrender the Donbas territories in Eastern Ukraine.
The European proposal also had some stipulations, though its unclear if these are a part of the US agreement too.
The Europeans said Ukraine’s borders could ‘not be changed by force’.
Further details of the agreement will be released in due time, but Putin and his government must agree to the peace plan as well.
What the coalition of the willing will speak about

The coalition of the willing could bar Russia from rejoining the G8, which was first enforced in 2014 after it annexed Crimea, and raise the cap on Ukraine’s army from 600,000 to 800,000.
Its believed Zelensky may fly out to Washington, DC, this week for talks with Trump in a bid to finalise the peace plan.
The discussions in Geneva are being led by US Secretary of State Marc Rubio, with Trump saying ‘something good’ was coming out of the talks.

However, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the US was the only country that wanted Russia to rejoin the G8, creating a stalemate.
There are other US proposals which go against Ukraine’s demands, including sacrificing territory and pledging not to join NATO.
President Zelensky told allies in a video call: ‘We all continue working with partners, especially the United States, to look for compromises that will strengthen not weaken us.’
He added Russia must pay for the war and said European countries must agree to use frozen Kremlin assets.
