In a phone discussion with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer underlined his country’s “irreversible” support for Ukraine’s NATO membership and promised continuous military aid.
“The Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s commitment to Ukraine being on an irreversible path to NATO, as agreed by Allies at the Washington Summit last year,” according to a government release.
Starmer promised Zelenskyy that the UK would continue to provide Ukraine with the required security guarantees and lethal assistance for as long as needed.
The two leaders also discussed the upcoming third anniversary of Russia’s “barbaric” full-scale invasion, with both leaders highlighting the importance of reinforcing international unity in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Zelenskyy briefed Starmer on his planned participation in the Munich Security Conference, where Ukraine is expected to push for further Western military aid and long-term commitments.
The two leaders also reflected on Starmer’s visit to Kyiv last month, during which he reaffirmed the UK’s backing for Ukraine in the war against Russia.
