Ukraine LIVE: Zelensky slaps down Donald Trump as he refuses 2 demands | World | News

The Foreign Secretary has said it would be “wrong” for Vladimir Putin to place conditions on a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

David Lammy said a pause in fighting would be a “first step” to allow talks to start on “a full settlement” to end the war.

The Foreign Secretary, who is meeting G7 counterparts in Canada, said there is an “opportunity” for “a just and lasting peace” in Ukraine.

“The US and Ukraine have called for a full, immediate and unconditional 30-day ceasefire,” he told The Mirror.

“This would be a first step so that talks can start on a full settlement that protects Ukraine’s security and sovereignty. President Zelensky has shown that Ukraine is the party of peace.

“It would be wrong for Putin to lay conditions. Our support for Ukraine, and that of other partners, remains ironclad.”
