Zelensky arrives in UK

The Head of State announced this in his Telegram message, Ukrinform reports.

"For the fourth time, the countries of the European space are going to the summit of the European Political Community to discuss common themes and challenges. I have arrived in the UK to participate in the summit, hold bilateral meetings with partners, and sign new security agreements," Zelensky said.

He noted that a separate programme would focus on bilateral relations with the UK.

"I will meet with His Majesty King Charles III, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, government officials, and heads of defence companies. We will sign an intergovernmental agreement on support for the Ukrainian defence industry, discuss future defence cooperation and expand our defence capabilities," Zelensky said.

He recalled that from the first days of the full-scale invasion, the UK was one step ahead in its determination to support Ukraine. It is this kind of determination that is needed to stop Russian terror.

As Ukrinform reported, on 12 January, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a security agreement that provides for a 100-year partnership, annual additional assistance for 10 years, and automatic provision of weapons to Ukraine in the event of any aggression.
