Prime Minister Keir Starmer was in Keiv on Thursday where he announced a “historic” 100-year partnership with Ukraine, committing the United Kingdom to supporting the country “beyond this terrible war” and into a future so that it can be “free and thriving again”.
He said while meeting with President Zelensky that “right now Putin shows no signs of wanting to stop” his “unrelenting aggression” and that the unprecedented agreement reflects the “huge affection between our two nations.”
Interestingly, an inbound Russian drone attack triggered anti-aircraft fire while Starmer and Zelensky were in the middle of talks, but no casualties or damage resulted.
The hugely symbolic 100-year agreement, which clearly sends a message to the Kremlin, commits a whopping £3 billion of British support each year, to be continued indefinitely, according to The Guardian.
