The prime minister says his “number one agenda item” at the G20 summit of world leaders in Rio is to “shore up support for Ukraine”, ahead of the peace deal President-elect Trump says he want to make with Moscow when taking office in January.
On his flight to Brazil, and in response to questions from journalists travelling with him, Sir Keir Starmer said: “We are coming up to the thousandth day of this conflict [in Ukraine].
"That’s 1000 days of Russian aggression, 1000 days of huge impact and sacrifice in relation to the Ukrainian people…That’s why we need to double down on shoring up our support for Ukraine.
"It’s got to be full support for as long as it takes”.
