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.

    It is not every day that members of the President's own party openly go against his wishes on a major foreign policy issue. But that is exactly what happened on Thursday, when the US House of Representatives passed legislation aimed at supporting Ukraine and hitting Russia with fresh sanctions. The Ukraine Support Act cleared the chamber with a vote of 226 to 195, marking a notable moment of bipartisan defiance in an otherwise deeply divided Congress.

    A senior European Parliament trade official has described the newly negotiated US trade framework as far from ideal, yet necessary — and now says the priority is making it bulletproof against future pressure from Washington. Karin Karlsbro, vice chair of the European Parliament's trade committee and a Swedish liberal MEP, stated plainly that the Turnberry framework was not a great outcome, but it was the one on the table. With a final vote expected on June 16, she argued the deal must be made resistant to Donald Trump's tariff threats before it crosses the finish line.

    The financial strain of Russia's war in Ukraine is becoming harder to hide. Moscow's finance minister has urged the government to freeze non-essential spending after it emerged that military costs are running approximately €24 billion over budget this year alone. Despite dedicating a staggering 40 percent of the entire national budget to defense and security, Russia is finding it increasingly difficult to keep its finances from slipping further into the red.
