Ukraine: Peace Negotiations

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 27 November 2025UIN 93039

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has had recent discussions with his US counterpart on a peace deal in Ukraine.

Answered by Al Carns

We welcome the significant efforts from both President Trump and President Zelenskyy to make progress on a peace deal and the constructive engagement in Geneva over the weekend towards securing a just and lasting peace.

The UK alongside our European allies have supported those discussions and continue to work closely with the US and Ukraine.

While diplomatic efforts continue, we will stand steadfast with Ukraine to keep it in the fight and ensure the Ukrainian people can defend themselves from the ongoing barbaric Russian attacks.
