During the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis, Starmer held a meeting with NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg and said in an interview with the BBC that his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn was "wrong" to be a critic of NATO and that the Labour Party's commitment to the alliance was "unshakeable". He elaborated on this point that he felt it was "important for me to make clear that we stand united in the UK ... Whatever challenges we have with the [Boris Johnson's] government, when it comes to Russian aggression we stand together." [189] He said Russia should be hit with "widespread and hard-hitting" economic sanctions. [190] He also criticised the Stop the War Coalition in an opinion piece for The Guardian arguing that they were "not benign voices for peace" but rather "[a]t best they are naive, at worst they actively give succour to authoritarian leaders" such as Vladimir Putin "who directly threaten democracies." [191] In February of 2023 he travelled to Ukraine to meet with President Volodomyr Zelenskyy, during which he pledged "unwavering support" for Ukraine during the Russian invasion of the country and that if he became Prime Minister there would be no change in Britain's position on the war in Ukraine. [192] [193] He also called for Russian leaders, including Vladimir Putin, to be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity. [194] [195] Starmer supported the issuing of an international arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. [196] Labour plans to expand Lords despite abolition pledge". BBC News. 21 June 2023 .

His leadership has been characterised by movement towards the political centre and abandonment of the left-wing platform of his leadership campaign, as well as by opposition to some of the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and issues such as Partygate, the September 2022 mini-budget, and the cost of living crisis. Starmer has emphasised the importance of eliminating antisemitism in the Labour Party. In 2023, he set out five missions for a Labour government, targeting issues such as economic growth, health, clean energy, crime and education. The party has seen varied results in local elections and by-elections under his leadership, but since late 2021 has maintained significant leads in opinion polling over the governing Conservative Party.
