UK-Ukraine cooperation
Last weekend, a summit dedicated to Ukraine was held in London. Leaders from more than 10 countries, as well as EU and NATO officials, participated in the summit.
During the summit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the creation of a "coalition of the willing" to ensure peace in Ukraine. The coalition's main goal is to gather countries willing to send military personnel to Ukraine.
Starmer also mentioned plans to create a "coalition of the willing" to support any peace agreement in Ukraine.
Recently, it was revealed that the UK had held talks with around 20 countries regarding the "coalition of the willing" to ensure peace in Ukraine. These talks are still in the early stages.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Ukraine received the first tranche from the United Kingdom, amounting to £752 million ($970 million). The funds are secured by revenue from frozen Russian assets.
Additionally, it should be noted that Ukraine recently signed one of the largest security agreements in its history with the UK.
