British PM Keir Starmer urged European allies to bolster their defenses and increase support for Ukraine, committing £1.6 billion ($2 billion) for 5,000 air defense missiles from the UK.
Starmer, alongside Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and French President Macron, agreed to formulate a peace plan for Ukraine, emphasizing the critical need for robust U.S. backing despite recent tensions with Donald Trump.
Starmer outlined three essentials for a successful and lasting peace deal: empowering Ukraine with arms, establishing a European security guarantee, and securing a "U.S. backstop" to prevent future Russian aggression.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
