UK, Ukraine Sign Landmark Defense Agreement

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the UK following a deadly Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv that killed at least eight to ten civilians. During his visit, Zelensky met King Charles at Windsor Castle and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and announced a landmark three-year defense co-production agreement between the UK and Ukraine to bolster Ukraine's drone production and deepen defense industry collaboration. Zelensky also met British parliamentary leaders and Ukrainian troops training in the UK. The announcement emphasizes the UK's ongoing support as Russian strikes intensify. His trip comes ahead of a NATO summit in The Hague, with talks centering on increased military support for Ukraine and further measures against Russia. Zelensky accused Russia, North Korea, and Iran of forming a 'coalition of murderers.'
