British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Ukraine to sign a new security and trade agreement with Kyiv.
On Thursday, January 16, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Ukraine to sign a new security and trade agreement with Kyiv. This marks his first visit to Ukraine since taking office last July and underscores the UK's commitment to supporting President Volodymyr Zelenskiy ahead of potential changes in US leadership.
Starmer’s visit follows that of German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius, highlighting a broader European effort to strengthen ties with Ukraine. With concerns rising over Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House, European leaders are exploring what security guarantees they can offer Ukraine, particularly in light of any future peace discussions with Russia.
The agreement, which will be submitted to the UK Parliament in the coming weeks, establishes a 100-year partnership focused on deepening security and cultural cooperation. Key provisions include increased military collaboration to safeguard the Baltic, Black Sea, and Sea of Azov, aimed at deterring Russian aggression. Additionally, the treaty will address energy, critical minerals, and the production of green steel.
