British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will take a Ukrainian peace plan for the US President Donald Trump next week, including fewer than 30,000 European troops to control possible -fire -fired deal that Russia agrees with.
Starmer will visit the White House next week and it is expected that the American leader will describe an Anglo-French strategy for a 'reassuring force', consisting of members of European soldiers who would be placed far from the current front lines.
This power would rely on 'technical monitoring', including information, monitoring and reconnaissance aircraft, drones and satellites to give a 'complete picture of what is going on', a Western official told The Telegraph.
However, the official added that the peace force would be supported by 'sufficient firepower to check and shoot all Russian attacks.
Navale patrol ships would also be sent to the Black Sea to check the Russian threats for the waters around Ukraine.
The plan is considerably short of the 200,000 troops requested by the Ukrainian President VolodyMyr Zenskyy in the case of a ceasefiring.
But it is perhaps the best that Zensky will let the American president agree, given the muddy competition in which he finds himself.
Trump wrote on his Platform Truth Social and shared an extraordinary and length -Tirade and condemned both Zensky and the billions to Aid The Biden -Administration Ukraine during the Bloody War in Russia against the country.
'Remember, a modest successful comedian, Volodymyr Zenskyy, the United States of America spoke to spend $ 350 billion dollars, to go into a war that could not be won, who never had to start, but a war he , Without the US and 'Trump' will never be able to settle, “wrote Trump.

“I love Ukraine, but Zenskyy has done it terribly, his country is crushed and millions have died unnecessarily – and so it goes on …” he posted.
He complained that the US gave Kiev more funds than European countries, despite their proximity of the war, and said that Zensky Joe Biden had played “as a violin.”
In what seemed to be a thin-hededy threat, Trump further said that “Zensky can move better quickly or that he will not have a country left.”
Trump, who has left the American policy to isolate Moscow, said that his administration “is successfully negotiating the war with Russia, something that all only 'Trump', and the Trump government, can do.”
He claimed that “Biden never tried it, Europe has not succeeded in bringing peace and Zenskyy probably wants to maintain the 'Gravy Train'.”
Dubbeld on earlier unfounded claims that Zensky was only supported by four percent of the Ukrainians, Trump added that the president “refuses to have elections” and “is very low in Ukrainian polls.”
Trump added later when he headed the Fii Priority Summit on Wednesday in Miami Beach that Zensky was a 'dictator' and a 'comedian' that cratered his country.
“How can you be high if every city is demolished?” Van Trump aimed and wondered how Zensky could survive the elections that the US President demands to be held in the country torn by war.
“The only thing he was good at was Joe Biden playing like a violin,” Trump added as he walked about the war in Ukraine.

He said, “A dictator without elections, Zensky is better off moving quickly or he will not have a country left.”
The words war was so bitter that last night last night was compared Zensky against Winston Churchill and defended him against the Republican president.
According to Downing Street spoke Starmer with the Ukrainian leader and confirmed his support for him as the 'democratically elected leader' of the country,
Number 10 added that Starmer also told Zolensky that it was 'completely reasonable to suspend elections during wartime, such as the UK during the Second World War'.
During his phone call with Zensky, number 10 said that starmer “emphasized the need for everyone to work together,” and “repeated his support for the efforts led by the US to get a permanent peace that Russia had deterred from every future aggression . '
In the aftermath of the tirade, many criticized Trump for his comments.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said that Zensky is not a dictator. He is the democratically chosen leader of Ukraine who was brave for the illegal invasion of Putin. '
But she added that Trump is right that Europe has to pull its weight – and that includes the UK. '
She added: 'We have to become serious. The prime minister will have my support to increase the defense expenditure – there is a fully funded plan to get 2.5% on his desk.
“That should be the absolute minimum. Starmer should continue, go to Washington on a plane and show some leadership. We can't afford to be wrong. '
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who became a narrow ally of Mr. Zensky while he was in office, said that several claims from Mr. Trump were wrong. But he also insisted on European leaders to “stop scandalized” about the comments of the US president and “to help him end this war.”

He added: 'Trump's statements are not meant to be historically accurate, but to take Europeans into action. In particular, the US can see $ 300 billion in frozen Russian assets – mainly in Belgium. That is cash that can and must be used to pay Ukraine and compensate the US for its support.
'Why does Europe prevent the injustice of Putin's money? The US believes that Belgium, France and other countries are blocking. It is absurd. We have to become serious and fast. '
Former British Justice Secretary David Lawke compared the US president to AI tonight.
He said: 'If you had asked Ai to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Donald Trump, this is what you would get.
“Well done America, you have chosen a Russian property as your president.”
Former Foreign Minister James Cleverly has meanwhile said: “The UK and the US must send the message we don't let tyrants win.”
Others were more destructive. Former Defense Minister Sir Ben Wallace said: 'I know that Mar-A-Lago is fairly close to Disney World, but that was Pure Disney in both kinds of facts and reality.
'I think the Kremlin has been pretty happy since the first day. If the White House that kind of propaganda lines repeats that Ukraine started the war, etc. Then they will of course be very happy that people rewrite history. '
Last night, Zensennies rejected the proposed £ 400 billion 'payback' deal for Ukraine in the field: 'I cannot sell our state. '
The Ukrainian president burned the offer 'not a serious conversation' in the midst of anger about the bizarre claim of the US president that Kyiv 'started the war with Russia.
Zensky also scolded to hold elections against every American-Russian agreement that would force Ukraine before a peace agreement is reached, and said that attempts to overthrow him 'not work'.

He accused Mr Trump of being a 'disinformation bubble', and added: “We understand that it comes from Russia.”
A reported draft contract drawn up by Mr Trump's government would give American rights about the infrastructure of the country torn by war, as well as gas and oil reserves and mineral resources.
If it is true, the Ukraine would see access to drugs and industries in exchange for the support of Washington after Russia ended his bloody invasion.
The US would also take half of all recurring income received by Ukraine from these resources and half the financial value of 'all new licenses issued to third parties' in the future.
Trump has said that he wants a deal with Ukraine to provide him with rare earth -minerals as 'equalization' for the money that the US has sent to Ukraine, of which he claims to his own congress research service of the US Congress.
According to the conditions of the contract, Ukraine would suffer stricter financial fines than those imposed on Germany and Japan after the Second World War – even though it was the victim of Russian aggression.
Speaking in Kyiv yesterday, after his return of a trip to Turkey, a visibly irritated Zenskyy rejected the plan.
He said: “The US has so far given $ 66 billion in weapons plus financial support for the budget.
'It is not $ 500 billion (£ 400 billion) back in minerals [in return]… that's not a serious conversation.
“I protect Ukraine. I can't sell it away. I can't sell our state. '
