Starmer said during a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday that he was “very much looking forward” to attending Monday’s informal EU leaders’ retreat in Belgium.
He will also call on European countries to “continue bearing down on Putin” and “step up and shoulder more of the burden in order to keep Europe safe against Russia’s increasing campaign of sabotage and destruction on our continent”.
US President Donald Trump’s return to the White House has given renewed urgency to Europe’s backing of Ukraine, as the mercurial Republican has vowed to bring a quick end to the war, leaving EU leaders fearful he could sideline them and force Kyiv into a bad deal.
“We know that he’s worried about the state of the Russian economy.”
Starmer will meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday, before travelling to meet with the leaders of the 27 EU Member States at an informal meeting of the European Council.
Resetting post-Brexit relations with the EU is a key foreign policy strategy for Starmer, who was a strong supporter of staying in the bloc during the 2016 referendum.
