Stephen Kinnock has said any Ukraine peace deal must be backed by ‘ironclad security guarantees’.

Speaking on GB News Stephen Kinnock said:

“It’s a vitally important meeting, and it’s really good that the American President has made more progress on getting these talks started than anything we’ve seen since Putin’s barbaric and illegal invasion of Ukraine.

“But we have to ensure that any agreement that is reached, first of all, it has to be with the full agreement and acceptance of President Zelensky and his government and the Ukrainian people.

“Once that agreement is in place, it has to be underpinned by an ironclad security guarantee.

“President Putin has shown that he violates international agreements, left, right and centre, unless they’re backed up by strong security guarantees.

“So that’s why the European leaders and our prime minister Keir Starmer are going out, is to say, right what does that security guarantee look like? How do we ensure that any agreement that is reached is robust and credible?

“We send a clear message to Moscow that the days of Putin’s illegal invasions are over. We get the agreement, we draw a line, and we ensure that that line is defended by the international community.”
