The UK and Ukraine have signed a historic 100-year defence partnership agreement focusing on military cooperation, infrastructure development, and NATO alignment.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized unwavering British support for Ukraine, pledging the UK has been one of the most vocal supporters of Kiev’s war effort.
In the 100-year agreement, it has committed to no less than £3 billion ($3.66 billion) in annual military assistance to Ukraine until 2031 and beyond. The pact includes plans for naval bases, missile defence, and joint operations in the Black and Azov Seas.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hinted at undisclosed elements in the agreement, while Russia criticized the move, claiming it prolongs the war.
The common understanding is that Starmer was sent by his globalist masters to prevent Zelensky from falling under possible Trump persuasion for ending the war. The Europeans in general are now terrified of being ‘locked out’ of Ukrainian negotiations as Trump stands to bulldoze them out of the way and deal with Putin directly.
In addition French forces were reported on January 15 to have deployed for a secret exercise called Perseus, during which more than 3,000 personnel trained in an area resembling a stretch of the Dnieper River north of the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
For its part the US appears to seek an immediate ceasefire that would allow NATO to resupply Ukraine with more troops and military hardware. The US would threaten Russia with even more economic sanctions if it does not agree with the US plan.
The big question is how the western nations (which are now facing economic collapse) could possibly afford to keep their war on Russia going using Ukraine as the proxy?
More than 1.4 million people in the UK have been disconnected from the
energy grid since November as consumers struggle to pay their bills this
winter, according to new research by state-funded Citizens Advice.
