President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law on the ratification of the Centennial Partnership Agreement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
This is stated in the information posted on the official portal of the Verkhovna Rada.
We will recall that on January 16, 2025, during a meeting in Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed the 100-Year Partnership Agreement.
This agreement is designed to build strong ties between the two countries across the entire spectrum of relations: from trade, security and defense, to science and technology, education, culture, etc.
The relevant document will promote military cooperation between the countries in maritime security through a new structure to strengthen security in the Baltic, Black and Azov seas and deter ongoing russian aggression.
It will also bring together experts to develop scientific and technological partnerships in areas such as: health and disease protection, agricultural technology, space and drones.
In addition, a new British-developed grain inspection scheme will be launched to track stolen grain from occupied Ukrainian territories.
The document also consolidates the UK's position as Ukraine's priority partner in the energy sector, the strategy for extracting critical minerals, and the production of "green" steel.
The agreement commits Britain to stand shoulder to shoulder with a sovereign Ukraine for the next century.
At the same time, the British Prime Minister announced new military aid packages: 150 artillery barrels manufactured by Sheffield Forgemasters and a new Grateful mobile air defense system, designed specifically for Ukraine's needs.
