Starmer is due to fly to Washington this week to present his plan that sees peacekeeping troops in Ukraine as part of any peace deal brokered by the US President.
KEIR Starmer's peace plan to deploy European troops in Ukraine has faced another blow as Moscow has shot it down.
Following a meeting with Macron at The White House, the US President said he believes Russia is going "all-out" to make sure the war ends Putin "has no problem" with European peacekeepers.
The PM - who is due to visit Don in Washington this week- has called for a peace plan that could see thousands of troops on the ground in Ukraine.
But Moscow has repeatedly opposed having NATO troops in Ukraine - and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov repeated Russia's views today.
