"I (...) will meet with President Zelenskyy soon, because it is vital that we continue to focus on supporting Ukraine. We cannot allow the war in the Persian Gulf to turn into an unexpected gain for Putin," Starmer said.
This came after the US last week eased sanctions prohibiting countries from buying Russian oil as a "short-term measure" amid rising costs caused by the war in the Middle East.
