Summary
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “democratically elected leader” after Donald Trump called him a “dictator” for suspending elections during the war.
Starmer, who spoke with Zelensky, supported Ukraine’s decision, comparing it to the UK’s actions during World War II.
The controversy comes ahead of Starmer’s meeting with Trump, where he plans to push for a US security “backstop” for Ukraine.
Trump’s remarks have sparked criticism, while Russia continues to dismiss potential peace deals without Ukrainian elections.
I wish them luck as an American. Our government is now compromised by fascists.
…we will fight them when push comes to shove, but I do not not know if we will win.
push already came to shove, and nobody fought. I don’t have much hope American Opposition to do anything.
