At the G20 summit in Rio, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on Vladimir Putin to withdraw Russian forces from Ukraine, marking the 1,000th day of the conflict. Starmer criticized Putin's absence from the summit and described him as the 'author of his own exile.' The UK leader also avoided confirming whether Britain would allow Ukraine to use British-made Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep into Russia, as tensions rise over potential nuclear escalations. Starmer condemned Russia's recent moves to make it easier to launch nuclear weapons, calling it another example of the country's 'irresponsibility.'
