PM: We stand by Ukraine as it is in our interest to do so
Sir Keir Starmer makes a statement to a packed House of Commons on the situation in Ukraine, after meeting Donald Trump on Thursday and European leaders on Sunday.
The prime minister says the UK must strengthen its relationship with the US but will "never choose between either side of the Atlantic".
Sir Keir also tells MPs, âwe stand by Ukraine because it's the right thing to do, but we also stand by them because it's in our interest to do so".

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyinâs death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyivâs broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact â dubbed the Northward Declaration â pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and Franceâs alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Parisâ joint nuclear force into its military strategy.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacyâbut only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a âdeclaration of war.â Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its programâs peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peaceâthough Araghchi dismissed claims of Iranâs program being âobliteratedâ and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazilâs legal proceedings against him as âvery unfair.â Trump called Bolsonaro a âgood manâ and âtough negotiator,â drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of âreciprocal tariffsâ if Trumpâs threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trumpâs remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lulaâs presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariffâs impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.
