Responding to the news that “no ceasefire, no deal” was the main outcome of the Putin/Trump talks last night, Green Party MP, Ellie Chowns, said:
“After all the headlines and fanfare, we are left where we started: a brutal war caused by Russia’s aggression and no real solution in sight. Any lasting peace plan without Ukraine’s full participation and consent will fail. When you compare how Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin to his publicly humiliating Zelenskyy, it’s clear that the only winner from these talks is Putin. He was handed the credibility of a seat at the top table while his forces continue their attacks on Ukraine.”
