Migration and Ukraine will be the “two dominant issues” as European leaders meet on Thursday, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

As he arrived at the European Political Community (EPC), the Prime Minister told reporters: “We’re certainly discussing illegal migration and looking at what further options we can take together.

“Obviously, I’ve always argued that working with other countries is always a stronger response. So we’re looking at a number of options there.

“There’s a big appetite for it, a number of countries wanting to work with us on what more we can do. So, we’ll be looking at that.

“There is also, then, obviously, the question of Ukraine and how we put in more support for Ukraine, put pressure on Putin.

“So, it’ll really be migration and Ukraine will be the two dominant issues in the discussions today.”
