In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer signed the One Hundred Year Partnership Agreement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which includes both open and confidential sections.
The Agreement stipulates that the United Kingdom will provide Ukraine with at least $3.6 billion in annual military assistance for as long as it is needed.
The United Kingdom will enhance its contribution to the training of specialists for Ukraine's combat aviation and assist with the supply of aircraft used by NATO member states. Additionally, plans include increased cooperation in long-range weaponry and investments in Ukraine’s defense production, particularly drones and artillery.
The agreement also provides for strengthened collaboration in the framework of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF).
Furthermore, the partnership includes maritime security efforts and the creation of special joint flotillas to bolster security in the Baltic, Black, and Azov Seas.
The agreement outlines deepened economic cooperation, with a focus on attracting investments, developing nuclear energy, and replacing Russian technologies.
The two countries will also cooperate in culture, education, science, and technology, including exchanging expertise in artificial intelligence and drones. The partnership extends to at least 100 schools in Ukraine and launches special programs between British and Ukrainian universities.
After the war, both countries will work to eliminate travel barriers for Ukrainians and Britons.
