Starmer and Zelenskyy meet in London, agree military production project

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have announced a new defense co-production agreement aimed at bolstering Ukraine's military capabilities amid ongoing Russian aggression.

Zelenskyy met with Starmer in London on Monday after he visited King Charles III at Windsor Castle, and unveiled a new industrial military co-production initiative, aimed at enhancing Ukraine's defense infrastructure.

The UK Prime Minister emphasized the significance of the collaboration, which he said builds on their 100-year partnership and represents a substantial advancement in the UK's support for Ukraine.

Zelenskyy said it was "a historic moment," highlighting that the partnership would strengthen both nations, and expressed gratitude for the UK's continued assistance.

The announcement follows a recent escalation in hostilities, with Russia launching a massive aerial attack on Kyiv involving drones and missiles, and comes a day before a NATO summit in The Hague.
