Speaking to reporters at the G20 summit in South Africa, Starmer said: "I think the main focus now is on Geneva tomorrow and whether we can make progress tomorrow morning."
Starmer added that he intends to speak with US President Donald Trump in the coming days and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tonight.
He also stated that in the event of a ceasefire, Ukraine "must be able to defend itself," which is why he and his allies expressed concern about the restrictions imposed by Kyiv on military needs.
"For the most part, these were allies from the 'Coalition of the Willing' who are present here at the G20, and the consensus was that there are elements in the 28-point plan that are necessary for a lasting peace, but they need additional work, and we will be working on that. That is why it was agreed that tomorrow in Geneva there will be high-ranking US officials, European National Security Advisors (NSA), including the British NSA, and, of course, the Ukrainians, to continue working on the draft," Starmer summarized.
