Starmer's ad hoc alliance could still struggle to materialise
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says a "huge amount" has happened since his "coalition of the willing" idea first surfaced at his Lancaster House summit a fortnight ago.
He is not wrong: US-Ukrainian relations have been on a rollercoaster since then, culminating in the meeting in Riyadh earlier this week, where the two sides agreed on a 30-day ceasefire.
But Sir Keir's coalition is a big, still somewhat nebulous undertaking, and there is clearly a great deal of work to be done before this ad hoc alliance is ready to take on something as complex – and potentially perilous – as keeping the peace in Ukraine.
Sir Keir says the coalition is now bigger and that "new commitments" are on the table, though he did not spell these out.
