European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has paid tribute to Prime Minister Keir Starmer following his resignation announcement. In a message on social media, von der Leyen praised Starmer’s leadership and said he had grown into a statesman in less than two years in office. She highlighted his role in strengthening European defense and deepening cooperation between the UK and the European Union. Von der Leyen also thanked Starmer for his strong support of Ukraine during the war with Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky also praised the outgoing British leader, thanking him for his support and cooperation.
