British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said 2026 could mark meaningful progress toward ending the war in Ukraine.
Starmer added that he believes they were "much further advanced" than they "were ever before" on whether the United States will stand ready to give security guarantees to the war-torn nation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin may pause the invasion but he will be "back at it" without strong guarantees in place in the event of a peace deal, he told the BBC's "Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg."
This comes ahead of a meeting with the Coalition of the Willing in Paris on Tuesday that will include Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian president has said there will be talks with U.S. representatives during the trip.
