"The Ukraine-UK security agreement provides us with confidence as we defend ourselves against Russian aggression and lays the groundwork for strong security positions until Ukraine joins NATO," Zelensky said.

He also added that the United Kingdom "is the first country with which we have reached such a security agreement."

"We will keep working with other partners to ensure the development of our security. We are making Ukraine stronger step by step," Zelensky wrote.
