British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has reaffirmed the United Kingdom’s unwavering support for Ukraine, despite rising tensions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Speaking after his meeting with Zelenskyy in London, Starmer emphasized Britain’s continued commitment to providing military, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine as it battles Russian aggression. “The UK stands resolutely with Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty and democracy,” Starmer declared. “Our support remains steadfast, regardless of geopolitical disputes.”
The statement comes amid reports of growing friction between Zelenskyy and Trump over U.S. policy on Ukraine. While the Biden administration had been a key provider of military aid, Trump has signaled a more cautious approach, raising concerns in Kyiv about the future of American assistance.
Starmer’s pledge aims to reassure Ukraine of Britain’s enduring support, even as international dynamics shift. The UK has been a major supplier of weapons and training for Ukrainian forces since the start of the war in 2022.
Further discussions on military aid and diplomatic strategy are expected as Zelenskyy continues engagements with Western allies.
