No Agreement Between UK And France On Truce Deal

The UK’s Minster of Armed Forces says that “no agreement” has been made between the French and the British about a one-month Ukraine truce proposal that has been reported.

Asked about the plan, which Macron told a French paper about on Sunday, Luke Pollard tells BBC Breakfast: “That’s not a plan we currently recognise.”

He adds that “a number of different options” are being discussed “privately”.

Pollard says that what matters is constructing a plan that brings lasting peace “as soon as possible”.

He also tells BBC Breakfast that the US is “a key ally” and will “have the UK’s back”, citing the “deep defence relationship” between the two countries.

This comes after UK Prime Minster Keir Starmer held a summit of European leaders to discuss achieving peace in Ukraine, only two days after Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky’s dramatic visit to Washington DC.
