Stubb, Burnham discuss Ukraine, EU-UK ties over phone

President Alexander Stubb on Sunday held a telephone conversation with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Andy Burnham and discussed the latest situation of Ukraine and about the future of the UK-EU relationship.

“I had a call with PM Andy Burnham. We discussed the latest on Ukraine, including the Brussels peace talks last week,” Stubb wrote in a post on his social media X late Sunday night.

The President said it was vital that work towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine was prioritised and continued at pace, before a wider discussion on European security.

“It is important that we continue our political, economic and defense materiel support to Ukraine as well as engage directly in the peace negotiations,” Stubb wrote, adding that they also spoke about the future of the UK-EU relationship.
