🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦Keir Starmer has insisted that Ukraine must be allowed to decide the terms of any peace deal with Russia in a challenge to proposals by Donald Trump.

The Prime Minister contradicted Trump by saying that the “courageous” Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, was not to blame for the failure to strike an agreement ending the war.

He also refused to back US plans to formally recognise Crimea as Russian in any negotiated settlement with Vladimir Putin, and demanded that Moscow agree to an “unconditional ceasefire”.

🇷🇺Any deployment of peacekeepers to historical Russian lands would risk a third world war, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu warned in an interview with TASS.

The senior Russian security official pointed to plans by the "coalition of the willing" to put boots on the ground in Ukraine under the guise of peacekeepers. "Sensible politicians in Europe understand that the implementation of this scenario may lead to a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia or even cause WWIII further down the road," he argued.

According to Shoigu, rather, the notion of `peacekeepers’ conceals the pursuit of control over Ukraine and its mineral resources. "It would be more correct to call such troops invaders or occupants," he insisted.

🇦🇲🇦🇿🇹🇷 Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has condemned the burning of the national flags of Azerbaijan and Turkey during a torchlight procession organised by the nationalist Armenian Revolutionary Federation political party on Wednesday 23rd April, ahead of the national commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

Pashinyan's spokesperson, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, made a statement on behalf of Pashinyan:

Prime Minister Pashinyan condemns such conduct, considering it to be irresponsible and unacceptable. The burning of the flags of internationally recognised states - especially neighboring states - cannot receive any other attitude by the leader of the country. It is a provoking and inciting conduct.
