The British Prime Minister arrived in Ukraine to sign a partnership agreement.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, has arrived in Ukraine for an official visit.

Премьер-министр Британии прибыл в Украину для подписания соглашения о партнерстве.
He will meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, with plans to finalize an agreement on deepening military assistance to Ukraine.

According to The Guardian,

It is expected that the British Prime Minister will discuss what security guarantees London can offer Kyiv, including the possibility of British troops participating in post-war peacekeeping forces.

“Putin's ambitions to sever Ukraine from its closest partners have suffered a significant strategic defeat. Instead, we are closer than ever, and this partnership will elevate our friendship to a new level,” said Starmer.

As a result of the visit, Ukraine and the UK will sign a partnership agreement to deepen existing defense relations, with a proposal for further military assistance to Kyiv. These arrangements come amid concerns that the US may begin to scale back its support for Kyiv.

Funding will be directed toward enterprises supporting the “green” economy, as well as marginalized groups, including women and veterans.

This continues the £12.8 billion in support that the UK has already provided to Ukraine, including £7.8 billion in military aid and ongoing support for Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The day before, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed the possibility of sending military personnel from their countries to Ukraine as a peacekeeping contingent. Such a scenario is being considered by Paris and London following a potential agreement between Kyiv and Moscow to cease hostilities.
