UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in an interview with the "New York Times" clearly defined his position towards the president of Russia.

He added that Europe should take this minute as a informing signal and take decisive action for common security.
The British Prime Minister recalled that for over 3 years, since Russian tanks crossed the border of Ukraine, the threat from Russia has not diminished.

Neither did Attlee. And neither should we.
