Historic Agreement between Ukraine and the UK

Recall that on January 16, 2025, Ukraine and the UK signed a historic partnership agreement for 100 years. The agreement was signed in Kyiv by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Recently, the Verkhovna Rada ratified the framework agreement with the UK on the 100-year partnership.

Under the agreement, Britain will allocate up to £2 billion to Ukraine for the procurement of air defense systems, missiles for air defense, as well as for the establishment of repair bases for military equipment and other armaments.
