Details : The United Kingdom said it backs Trump's initiative to end the war in Ukraine and called on Russia to withdraw its forces.

Reuters wrote that the statement had come after Reuters reported that Washington is pressuring Kyiv to accept a US-crafted peace plan.

The draft plan proposes that Ukraine gives up part of its territory and part of its weapons.

Quote from the UK Foreign Office representative : "Russia could do this tomorrow by withdrawing its forces and ending its illegal invasion."

Details : Reuters added that the representative of the UK Foreign Office had also said that London "shares President Trump's desire to bring this barbaric war to an end".
