Nigel Farage has declared that Brexit Britain is the “link” between Europe and the US.
The Reform UK leader said “thank goodness” the UK left the EU because it is now in a “unique position” to help secure peace in Ukraine.
The arch-Brexiteer’s comments come after Sir Keir Starmer held an emergency summit of European leaders over the weekend following a tense meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump.
The Clacton MP said: “Brexit Britain is now the link between Europe and the USA.
“The UK is in a unique position to form a ‘coalition of the willing’ to secure a lasting peace.
“Thank goodness we left the EU — and this country can stand tall on the world stage once again.”
It comes after a blitz of high-stakes diplomacy across the Atlantic and in London by the Prime Minister.
He met the US president in Washington last Thursday before holding the emergency defence summit of European leaders on Sunday.
Sir Keir warned European counterparts at the gathering at Lancaster House, London, that they stand at a “crossroads in history”.
He committed £1.6billion towards helping Ukraine buy 5,000 missiles for its defence and invited European leaders to join a “coalition of the willing” led by Britain and France, which is aimed at enforcing any future peace deal.
America is trying to negotiate directly with Russia to end the hostilities, but Sir Keir has insisted European countries must play a key role in enforcing a peace agreement and deter Vladimir Putin from breaking it.
The PM and French president Emmanuel Macron are also said to be proposing a one-month ceasefire plan that they will present to the US as part of an attempt to repair relations with the Trump administration.
It comes after a fractious encounter between Mr Zelensky and Mr Trump in the Oval Office on Friday.
That led to the Ukrainian president cutting short a trip to the US in which he was supposed to sign a minerals deal with Mr Trump, exchanging rights to natural resources for further American military support.
