British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is using a visit to Washington to press President Donald Trump not to abandon Ukraine as he looks to find a quick endgame to Russia’s bloody invasion of its neighbor.
He violated the Budapest Memorandum (Ukraine agreeing to give up their nuclear weapons in return for the US and Russia promising no aggression and to come to Ukraine’s defense in the event of aggression) only 20 years after it was signed by Russia when he annexed Crimea. He may as well have shredded it when he launched the “Special Military Operation.”

That’s different. He really means it this time.
