PM accuses Putin of ‘dragging feet’ in peace talks over no-show for Zelensky
Vladimir Putin’s refusal to meet Volodymyr Zelensky face-to-face for peace talks is “further evidence” of the Russian president “dragging his feet” to delay a ceasefire, Sir Keir Starmer has said.
The Prime Minister accused Moscow’s leader of “standing in the way” of a truce after his no-show in Turkey, where his Ukrainian counterpart had said he was prepared to have direct discussions about the war.
There is a mildly entertaining aspect to stories such as this, with its implication that the Russian president and other important people are listening.
It's for UK domestic consumption of course, but the mildly entertaining aspect still stands, with its implication that someone, somewhere might heed "Sir" Keir's words.
He's dragging his feet too, it's time for him to go.

Yes, it's all for voters here, as Putin himself probably pays more attention to accounts on X and Facebook than he does to Starmer. But it might get voters making useful comparisons. How would Putin deal with Net Zero, striking train drivers, non-attending civil servants, and illegal immigrants?
Sam - "How would Putin deal with Net Zero, striking train drivers, non-attending civil servants, and illegal immigrants?"
I've pondered over that too. A very uncomfortable question because many answers would be versions of "effectively."
I really wish Starmer would STFU about Ukraine. If anyone ever does bother to listen to him, he will only do harm
Bucko - it's uncanny isn't it? Everything he touches falls apart and never works again.
Sir Tear Scammer should sit down and shut up. He's an over-promoted mummy's boy.
dearieme - I think so too. In spite of going on about his toolmaker father, he does come across as a mummy's boy, not a practical man.
"his toolmaker father,"
Technically speaking, his father did make a Tool
Bucko - yes he did, probably the only one that nobody ever found a use for.
