“We are also working together to stop the killings in Ukraine. In recent days, Putin has shown his true face. By carrying out the largest attacks since the beginning of the invasion, with even greater bloodshed, even more innocent lives lost, and unprecedented violations of NATO airspace. This is not the behavior of someone who wants peace,” Starmer emphasized.
