The agreement was announced after a joint appearance in the garden of Starmer’s residence in Downing Street, where both the UK and Ukrainian leaders also saw Ukrainian soldiers who are currently being trained in Britain.

Starmer described the agreement as a “massive step forward” in the UK’s support for Ukraine. “I’m very, very proud this afternoon that we’re announcing a deal to industrial military co-produce for Ukraine and the UK for the first time as far as we see it,” he said.

No specifics of the deal were revealed but both leaders stressed its necessity to bolster their nations’ defense.

Zelenskyy Grateful to UK for Resource Support
Zelenskyy thanked Britain for supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russia. He added that the new deal would not only boost Ukraine’s military capacities but would contribute to strengthen the defense industries of both countries.

Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy met with King Charles at Windsor Castle, where they shook hands in a gesture of British support. The Ukrainian president also met the speakers of the British parliament’s two houses while on his trip.

The deal shows that work is continuing to deepen UK-Ukraine cooperation at a crucial juncture in the war against Russia.

    Trump Says Ceasefire Holds Despite U.S.-Iran Gulf Clashes

    Tensions between the United States and Iran flared dramatically on Thursday when naval forces from both sides exchanged fire in the Gulf, raising serious concerns about the fragile ceasefire that had been holding since April 7. The fighting put a month-old truce under serious strain and cast fresh doubt on diplomatic efforts to bring the conflict — sparked by joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran on February 28 — to a negotiated close. Despite the violence, President Donald Trump insisted the ceasefire was still technically in place and downplayed the incident with characteristic bluntness.

    Armenia has made its position crystal clear — it does not stand with Russia in the war against Ukraine. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said publicly that his country is "not an ally" of Russia, a statement that landed like a thunderbolt in Moscow. The timing made it even more pointed. Just days earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had visited Yerevan for the first time in 24 years to attend the European Political Community summit — a gathering of roughly 48 European leaders that sent a loud signal about which direction Armenia is heading.

    US Ends Oil Sanctions Waivers, Targets Iran and Russia

    Washington has quietly but firmly shut the door on a policy that had been generating controversy for weeks. The United States has decided not to renew a temporary waiver that had allowed Iranian oil to continue flowing to global markets, and has also let a separate waiver on Russian oil at sea expire without renewal. Two administration officials confirmed the decisions, which mark a sharp pivot toward full enforcement of sanctions that had previously been softened under the banner of energy price relief. The Iranian waiver is set to officially expire on April 19, while the Russian waiver already lapsed over the weekend.
