Starmer discussed with Trump the cynical attacks by Russian troops on Ukraine

The leaders discussed Russia's nighttime attacks on Ukraine. Starmer emphasized Russia's strikes on Ukraine's critical national infrastructure.

 "Putin's fierce attacks on critical national infrastructure, including energy systems, were particularly depraved as temperatures dropped below -20C," the Prime Minister added.

The second part of the conversation concerned Diego Garcia and the United Kingdom's agreement to maintain control of the U.S.-British military base for national security reasons.

Recognizing the facility's strategic importance, the parties agreed that their governments would continue to coordinate closely to ensure the base's future operation. They also agreed to reconnect in the near future.
