Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer has arrived in Kyiv to sign what Downing Street calls a landmark 100-year partnership with Ukraine.

The pact, according to the government, would formalise economic and military support already pledged to the country, and offers more.

It is the prime minister's first visit to the country since taking office last summer, in a show of support for Ukraine days before Donald Trump re-enters the White House.

Starmer was greeted at Kyiv railway station by the UK's ambassador to Ukraine, Martin Harris, and the Ukrainian envoy to London, Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

According to the Ukrainian Envoy, the highlight of the visit would be the signing of the 100-year partnership agreement which je said would cover areas from science to culture, with a particular focus on security.
