Starmer Expresses Concern Over Putin's Potential Involvement in 'Peace Council'

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has expressed concern regarding the potential involvement of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a 'Peace Council' proposed by former US President Donald Trump.

The statement comes after Putin's initial acceptance of the invitation, which was later questioned by the Kremlin.
