According to the report, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke by phone on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump about Ukraine ahead of peace talks and about a deal by the UK to cede control back to Mauritius of the Chagos Islands, which include the key Diego Garcia military base.
The report said that Starmer and Trump discussed the situation in Ukraine, including Russian attacks on the country overnight, the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
The report said that Russian forces’ fierce attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, including energy systems, were particularly depraved as temperatures dropped below minus 20C (-4F), Starmer told Trump.
The report also stated that the White House announced Tuesday that the US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will attend trilateral negotiations with Russia and Ukraine in the United Arab Emirates' capital, Abu Dhabi, on Wednesday and Thursday.
The report added that the leaders agreed that their governments would continue working closely to guarantee the future operation of the base and speak again soon," the statement added. Last month, planned parliamentary debates on the UK's deal to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius were delayed following backlash from Trump.
Additionally, the Chagos Archipelago, a group of seven atolls comprising over 60 islands in the central Indian Ocean, is located about 500 kilometers (310 miles) south of the Maldives.
