Starmer expresses support for Zelenskyy after Trump criticismUK prime minister pushes back against Trump’s suggestion that elections should be held in UkraineSir Keir Starmer has said Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a “democratically elected leader” and that it is “perfectly reasonable” to suspend elections during wartime, after Donald Trump called the Ukrainian president a “dictator”. The UK Prime Minister spoke with the Ukrainian president on Wednesday after the US President unleashed a broadside against Zelenskyy on his Truth Social platform, accusing him of being an autocrat who “refuses to have elections”.Stressing the need for “everyone to work together”, Starmer threw his backing behind Zelenskyy’s decision to suspend elections in Ukraine while the country is riven by conflict, citing a precedent in the UK during the second world war, according to Downing Street.The UK prime minister reiterated his “support for the US-led efforts to get a lasting peace in Ukraine that deterred Russia from any future aggression”, a Downing Street spokesperson added.Trump’s comments sparked censure from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who said it was “simply wrong and dangerous to deny President Zelenskyy his democratic legitimacy”.The Ukrainian leader had earlier accused Trump of living in a “disinformation space” after the US president suggested that Kyiv was responsible for triggering war with Russia.UK defence secretary John Healey was forthright in rebutting the claim, telling reporters during a visit to Norway: “Three years ago, one country illegally invaded another, and since then, the Ukrainians have been fighting for their freedom . . . and they still are.”Healey also urged against “jeopardising the peace by forgetting about the war”, after the US and Russia kicked off talks about ending the Ukraine conflict in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.Starmer’s intervention raises the risk of souring relations with Trump before the UK prime minister travels to the White House next week for talks with the US president.British ministers privately admit Starmer has been keen to avoid antagonising Trump as he seeks to become a “bridge” between the US and Europe. Starmer also wants to try and persuade Trump not to impose tariffs on British exports to the US.“On issues like tariffs, why would you rock the boat now?” asked one UK minister. “The prime minister’s going to be meeting Trump next week so they can discuss it face to face.”Starmer has proposed a summit with European leaders after he returns from Washington to discuss next steps on Ukraine’s future, but he has been under growing political pressure in Britain to publicly criticise Trump.Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, who has carved out a niche for his party in lambasting Trump at a time when other British politicians are trying to curry favour, urged Starmer to take a more robust line.“When the prime minister visits the White House next week, he must challenge Trump on his Ukraine lies in the strongest possible terms,” Davey said.He added: “It’s incredibly alarming to see the supposed leader of the free world parroting Putin’s propaganda.”While Starmer said on Monday he was “ready and willing” to put UK troops in Ukraine to help guarantee its security as part of a peace deal, western officials suggested on Wednesday that offers of British air support might be more likely than the deployment of soldiers on the ground.The officials sketched out the idea of a force of fewer than 30,000 European-led troops that could help protect nuclear sites, ports and cities in Ukraine, rather than patrolling any frozen front line with Russia.Trump’s salvo against Zelenskyy also put Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch at odds with the US president, after she sought to draw favourable parallels between her party and his Maga movement on Monday.“President Zelenskyy is not a dictator,” she said on X on Wednesday. “He is the democratically elected leader of Ukraine who bravely stood up to Putin’s illegal invasion.”Stressing that under her leadership the Tories would always “stand with” Kyiv, she said Trump was “right that Europe needs to pull its weight”.
El desamparo de Zelensky...https://www.ft.com/content/2506b4ae-52f3-4adb-9dd2-7f07a153316dCitarDonald Trump signals Ukraine to blame for warUS president suggests Ukrainian election is overdue in first remarks after talks with MoscowDonald Trump appeared to blame Ukraine for the war with Russia and signalled Kyiv should hold elections, hours after the US held high-level talks with Moscow in Riyadh.Russia and the US on Tuesday agreed to “lay the groundwork for future co-operation” on ending the war and a lightning normalisation of relations, in their first talks since President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion.The discussion came after Trump called Putin last week in an effort to end the war — without consulting Ukraine or its European allies — as Washington accelerates an extraordinary turnaround in Russia policy.In comments to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump falsely claimed Kyiv had started the conflict, the largest on European soil since the second world war, and added he was“very disappointed” that Ukraine was “upset about not having a seat” at the talks. “Today I heard: ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited’,” the US president said. “Well, you’ve been there for three years . . . you should have never started it. You could have made a deal.”The full-scale war began when Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine on February 24 2022. But Russia’s military aggression began in 2014, with Moscow’s forced annexation of Crimea and armed conflict in the eastern Donbas region under the guise of a separatist uprising.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had not been informed ahead of time about the Riyadh talks, adding that Ukraine would reject any settlement that does not directly involve Kyiv.“This is only the first month,” said one EU diplomat who expressed shock at Trump’s shift from decades of US policy on Russia since returning to office on January 20. “We need to wake up.”In further comments critical of Zelenskyy, Trump said: “It’s been a long time since we’ve had an election” in Ukraine.“That’s not a Russia thing. That’s something coming from me and coming from many other countries,” he added.However, his comments closely resembled previous remarks from the Kremlin, which has questioned Zelenskyy’s legitimacy.One of Russia’s central goals in its war against Ukraine has been regime change, according to Ukrainian and western intelligence agencies.Ukrainian officials have shown the Financial Times intelligence from the early days of the war suggesting that Moscow had wanted to install Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, a close friend of Putin, as leader if the invasion had gone as planned.Putin has questioned Zelenskyy’s legitimacy after the Ukrainian president’s term expired in May 2024, but Kyiv has said it can only hold an election after the fighting stops and martial law is lifted.On Tuesday, Trump claimed that Zelenskyy’s approval rating stood at 4 per cent. But an opinion poll conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology in February found that 57 per cent of Ukrainians trusted their president, up from 52 per cent in December.KIIS executive director Anton Hrushevsky said the survey results showed that Zelenskyy “maintains a fairly high level of trust in society . . . and, moreover, retains legitimacy”.On Wednesday Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, arrived in Kyiv and told Ukraine’s public broadcaster he would be “listening” and taking what he heard back to Trump.“We’re going to listen. We understand the need for security guarantees,” he said. “It’s very clear to us the importance of sovereignty of this nation . . . Part of my mission is to sit and listen.”There are widespread fears in Kyiv and throughout Europe that Trump wants to settle the war on Putin’s terms. The US already appears to have made significant concessions to Putin by brushing aside Ukraine’s desires to join Nato and restore its control over Russian-occupied land.Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that the talks in Riyadh showed that Moscow and Washington were “moving to normalise relations in all areas”.Lavrov told lawmakers that Russia hoped the two countries would hold talks on security, arms control and “very promising projects on the economy” in addition to negotiations over the Ukraine crisis.“We have begun to walk away from the edge of the abyss where the Biden administration took our relations, but these are just the first steps,” the Russian foreign minister said. Holding elections would be a formidable challenge for Ukraine since millions of citizens are displaced, living abroad or residing in areas under Russian occupation. Kyiv has also expressed security concerns around any polls.A survey of Ukrainians conducted in September and October by the non-profit International Republican Institute found that 60 per cent of respondents opposed holding a presidential vote during the war.David Arakhamia, head of Zelenskyy’s ruling party in parliament, said this month that elections should not be held earlier than six months after the end of martial law.Putin’s spokesperson on Wednesday said a decision on Ukrainian elections “cannot be taken in Moscow or Washington”.At an emergency meeting in Paris on Monday, European leaders clashed over dispatching peacekeeping forces to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. While the UK offered to put “boots on the ground”, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain expressed reluctance to do so.Trump said on Tuesday that he would support European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine after the war, although Lavrov said on Tuesday that any European peacekeeping deployment in the country would be “unacceptable”.Trump said the US would not have to contribute any troops to peacekeeping operations in Ukraine since “we’re very far away” but added that he did not want to pull all US troops out of Europe as part of a peace agreement.European Council president António Costa was on Wednesday holding one-on-one calls with all EU leaders to gauge what additional support they would be willing to provide to Ukraine.Discussions included possible peacekeeping troop deployments and moves towards higher collective defence spending, officials said.French President Emmanuel Macron has convened a second emergency meeting on Wednesday of European Nato members who did not participate in an initial meeting on Monday, plus Canada.The afternoon meeting, a hybrid of virtual and in-person attendance, will seek to “assert that there is a European-Atlantic group” whose interests must be taken into account, said a person briefed on the preparations, adding that it was also about “maintaining Trump’s attention”.
