Britain and Ukraine have signed a bilateral agreement to support Kyiv’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s “malign influence,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office says.
The U.K.-Ukraine Political, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement was signed on October 8, the second day of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Britain.
The deal “lays the foundation for an intensified bilateral relationship in areas including trade, defense and political cooperation,” Prime Minister Johnson’s office said in statement.
