Keir Starmer has said that the UK and France will work with Ukraine on a ceasefire plan that they will then present to the US.
The Prime Minister, who is set to host a meeting of European leaders on Sunday on the subject of Ukraine, said that his "driving focus" was to bridge the gap between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy after their explosive row.
Sir Keir insisted he trusted both Mr Trump and Mr Zelenskyy, and said that he believed the presidents wanted peace.
He told the BBC that he watched the meeting descend into chaos in his office, adding that "nobody wants to see that."
Sir Keir said he called Mr Trump and Mr Zelenskyy after the meeting to refocus on "a lasting peace in Ukraine".
He added: "My driving purpose has been to to bridge this, if you like, and get us back to the central focus. And as a result of the meeting yesterday, we had quite a long time with President Zelensky, then President Macron and President Trump on the phone.
"We've now agreed that the United Kingdom, along with France and possibly one or two others, will work with Ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting, and then we'll discuss that plan with the United States."
