US envoy Witkoff rejects Starmer's 'Coalition of the Willing' plan

 

"Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff has rejected UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan for an international peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.

 

He said the idea was based on a "simplistic" view by the UK prime minister and other European leaders that "we all have to be like Winston Churchill", the BBC reports.

 

"There is this view that we all have to be Winston Churchill. The Russians are going to march through Europe. It's absurd, by the way. We have something called NATO that we didn't have in World War II," Witkoff said when asked about Keir Starmer, the UK prime minister's plans for a "coalition of the willing".

 

The United Kingdom and France are mobilizing a so-called “coalition of the willing” to provide security guarantees to Ukraine by sending their own peacekeepers.

 

In an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he “likes” the Russian president.”

 

And here in Lithuania, we have spilled so much ink discussing Starmer's plan. Even our President Nausėda discussed how many soldiers we can send to Kiev, and what a big military secret it is. It turns out that all this is a plan of stupid Churchill impersonators, and President Nausėda should go back to working as a clerk in a Scandinavian bank. All his decisions in politics, starting from joining the communist party, just before the beginning of the period of Independence, are wrong. It is a shame for us that we elect such losers as presidents.
