Details: Starmer said that talks on the US peace proposals have made progress, and "I welcome some of the developments that have now come forward".

He added that Ukraine had proposed some constructive changes to the US draft, which have been supported by European national security advisers.

Quote: "I do think we are moving in a positive direction and indications today that in large part the majority of the text, Volodymyr [Zelenskyy – ed.] is indicating, can be accepted."

More details: French President Emmanuel Macron said there is "finally a chance to make real progress toward a good peace" between Ukraine and Russia.

Background:

• The United States and Ukraine developed a new 19-point peace agreement during the Geneva talks but left the most politically sensitive issues for the two presidents to decide.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the United States has made "tremendous progress" towards reaching a "peace deal" between Ukraine and Russia, but "there are a few delicate, but not insurmountable, details that must be sorted out".
