KEIR STARMER ARRIVES UKRAINE TO SIGN SECURITY PACT – Starmer aims to boost military cooperation with UkraineĀ
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has arrived in Ukraine to sign a security and trade pact today with Kyiv.
Starmer’s visit comes two days after German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius travelled to the country, with European leaders weighing what security guarantees they can provide as part of any peace agreement that may be pushed by Trump.
Starmer, who was making his first visit to Ukraine since he became prime minister last July, was due to sign a 100-year partnership with Kyiv to deepen security and cultural ties.
The treaty and political declaration – to be considered by Britain’s parliament in the coming weeks – aims to boost military cooperation to strengthen security in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea and Sea of Azov and deter Russian aggression.
The treaty will also cover areas such as energy, critical minerals and green steel production, Starmer’s office said.
