Recently, the leaders of France and Italy appealed to Ukraine’s European partners to resume negotiations with dictator Vladimir Putin in order to stop Russian aggression. However, the United Kingdom spoke against this idea.
Key theses:
- Macron and Maloney are convinced that only direct talks with Putin will help stop the war.
- However, the British government does not see any sense in this yet.
Britain rejected the plan of France and Italy About disagreements between official London and this one the head of the British foreign policy department, Yvette Cooper, announced the proposal.
According to her, Great Britain wants to see evidence that the Russian dictator really wants peace, but so far there is none.
Cooper also focused on the fact that now the center of diplomacy is in Ukraine and its closest allies.
We see significant commitment to the work that Ukraine is doing with the support of the US and Europe to develop plans for peace, including security guarantees. But so far, I see no evidence that Putin is ready to sit down at the negotiating table or lead a discussion.

Against this background, the diplomat once again called on the international community to strengthen its influence on the Kremlin.
According to Cooper, this should be done with the help of sanctions against the Russian Federation and military assistance to the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
