🇬🇧❌🇪🇺** British officials are telling EU leaders to “shut up” and “stop annoying Donald Trump” with their comments on how peace in Ukraine should look like.**
The Telegraph writes:
British officials have encouraged European Union leaders to stop an “unhelpful running commentary” on looming peace talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Officials are increasingly concerned about public comments on the future of Ukraine by the likes of Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat.
They fear that issuing public demands to the US president may backfire and cause him to cut Europe out of talks altogether.
It comes as Mr Trump and his Russian counterpart prepare to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine at face-to-face talks in Alaska on Friday.
Insiders have pointed to the fact that Sir Keir Starmer has made no public comments on the discussions since a joint statement on Saturday evening, choosing instead to influence from behind the scenes.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman did not explicitly call for Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian President, to be present for the talks in Alaska during a briefing with journalists on Monday, despite EU figures publicly making the request.
Downing Street figures have long argued in private that the best way to sway Mr Trump is to use access and influence behind closed doors rather than publicly challenging him into adopting a position.
