Jeremy Corbyn urges west to stop arming Ukraine

Ex-Labour leader also tells Beirut-based TV channel he was criticised over antisemitism because of stance on Palestine

Jeremy Corbyn has urged western countries to stop arming Ukraine, and claimed he was criticised over antisemitism because of his stance on Palestine, in a TV interview likely to underscore Keir Starmer's determination not to readmit him to the Labour party.

Pouring arms in isn't going to bring about a solution, it's only going to prolong and exaggerate this war," Corbyn said. We might be in for years and years of a war in Ukraine."
