There must be no easing of sanctions on Russia until the war in Ukraine ends, Sir Keir Starmer has said following a meeting of the “coalition of the willing” in Paris.

The Prime Minister said the group, which does not include the United States, had agreed there should be no reduction in sanctions on Moscow despite suggestions from the White House such a move would be part of a ceasefire deal.
