Summary
The UK signed a 100-year partnership with Ukraine during Sir Keir Starmer‘s visit to Kyiv, pledging sustained economic, military, and humanitarian support.
The agreement includes a new mobile air defense system, expanded troop training, and collaboration on healthcare and maritime security.
Amid Russian drone attacks during the visit, Starmer reaffirmed backing for Ukraine’s NATO membership and security guarantees.
President Zelensky praised the UK’s commitment as vital, especially with concerns over potential reduced US support under the incoming Trump administration.
The treaty will be presented to Parliament soon.
Hong Kong was a 100 year deal as well. (So yes, definitely matters)
