Ukraine: UK's Starmer signs '100-year' treaty
Shortly before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Kyiv as the latest among European politicians highlighting their solidarity with Ukraine.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Thursday morning.

During the visit, Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a "100-Year Partnership" treaty that covers the areas of security, science, energy and trade. It aims to strengthen military cooperation to enhance security in the Baltic, Black and Azov Seas and deter Russian aggression.

"Together we signed a landmark agreement, the very first of its kind, a new partnership between the UK and Ukraine that reflects the huge affection that exists between our two nations," Starmer told reporters.

"Today is a truly historic day, our relationship is closer than ever," Zelenskyy told media after the signing.

What else did Starmer say?

In a joint press conference with Zelenskyy, Starmer also said his country would play its full part in ensuring Ukraine's security and that talks on the issue would continue for months.

According to Starmer, his government would supply Ukraine with a new mobile air defense system that would be would be "developed to meet Ukraine's needs."

"[Russian President Vladimir] Putin's ambition to wrench Ukraine away from its closest partners has been a monumental strategic failure. Instead, we are closer than ever, and this partnership will take that friendship to the next level," Starmer said ahead of the visit.

 Uncertainty before Trump's return

It is Starmer's first trip to Ukraine as prime minister since taking office in the summer. However, he also visited the country in 2023, when he was opposition leader, and held talks with Zelenskyy in London twice as prime minister.

The unannounced visit is the latest show of support for Ukraine from European leaders ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump's return to power in the United States.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto is also visiting Kyiv on Thursday. And German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius visited the country this week.

Trump's return to the White House has raised concerns that Ukraine could have to agree to a truce which could see it cede large parts of the country to Russia.

UK is one of Ukraine's main supporters

During the visit, Starmer is also expected to announce a further 40 million pounds (€47.5 million or $49 million) for Ukraine's post-war economic recovery.

Zelenskyy had earlier said that he and Starmer would discuss the possibility of Western troops being stationed in Ukraine to monitor a ceasefire agreement, a proposal originally put forward by French President Emmanuel Macron.

The UK is one of Ukraine's biggest military backers. It has pledged 12.8 billion pounds in military and civilian aid since Russia's full-scale invasion nearly three years ago. It has also trained more than 50,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil.

NK prisoners.....

Ukraine, the United States and South Korea have accused North Korea of providing Russia with more than 10,000 soldiers to fight against Ukraine.

The troops are now fighting in the Kursk region, wearing Russian uniforms and using Russian weapons, according to Germany's dpa news agency.

Ukraine announced it had captured two North Korean soldiers over the weekend. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects there will be more prisoners from North Korea. 

"It's only a matter of time before our troops manage to capture others," he wrote on X. "There should be no doubt left in the world that the Russian army is dependent on military assistance from North Korea."

Kyiv is ready to hand over the prisoners to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un if he organizes the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war held by his close ally, Russia.

SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CONFIRMATION BY MOSCOW NOR BY NORTH KOREA THAT TROOPS FROM NORTH KOREA ARE FIGHTING IN RUSSIA... TAKING LITTLE "GREE SHIRT SHIT"'S WORDS AS GOSPEL IS NOT CONFIRMATION. ACCORDING TO SOURCES, THE ASIAN LOOKING DUDES MAY BE GENUINE EASTERN RUSSIANS...

SHOULD NORTH KOREAN TROOPS BE FIGHTING IN THE KURSK REGION, THIS WOULD BE MORE LEGITIMATE THAN THE WEST SUPPLYING ROCKETS AND PERSONNEL FOR LOGISTICS TO THE KIEV REGIME...

details in the devil's turd....

London has revealed details of a long-term partnership agreement with Kiev, which includes broad plans for military infrastructure development and defense cooperation over the next century. The document suggests the potential establishment of military bases in Ukraine, with an emphasis on aligning these initiatives with NATO standards for maximum effectiveness.

The 15-page declaration, signed on January 16, 2025, lays out a framework for cooperation between the United Kingdom and Ukraine across various sectors, with a primary focus on military collaboration. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky formalized the deal during a ceremony in Kiev on Thursday.

“The Participants will explore options for deploying and maintaining defence infrastructure in Ukraine, including military bases, logistics depots, reserve military equipment storage facilities and war reserve stockpiles,” the document states.

The agreement also emphasizes maritime cooperation, particularly in the Black Sea region. The UK has pledged to enhance Ukraine’s interoperability with NATO in the maritime sphere through joint naval operations, port visits, and the development of Ukrainian naval bases.

We will work together to ensure NATO learns the lessons from Ukraine’s experience in the Black Sea to inform its development of future maritime capabilities. We will promote the development of naval bases on the territory of Ukraine,” the document reads.

Another section highlights plans to “deepen cooperation on long-range strike capabilities,” integrated air and missile defense, and the stockpiling of complex weapons to bolster “deterrence.”

Additionally, London has committed to providing Ukraine with annual military assistance of no less than £3 billion until at least 2031, and “for as long as needed to support Ukraine.”

While the agreement lacks detailed, binding commitments beyond promises to expand, intensify, and facilitate collaboration across multiple sectors, Zelensky hinted at potential “secret” components within the pact.

The UK has been one of Ukraine’s prime backers since the escalation of conflict between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022. It has committed 12.8 billion pounds ($16 billion) in military and civilian aid to Ukraine and reportedly trained 50,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil.

Russia has sharply criticized London’s continued support of Kiev as a sign that the UK government “clearly does not seek to resolve the conflict.” Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova previously said “they are doing everything possible to make it drag on, thus prolonging the suffering of the Ukrainian people.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest that US President-elect Donald Trump, set to take office next Monday, may propose deploying Western troops as peacekeepers along a demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine. The rumored plan would allegedly exclude US forces, relying instead on “European” soldiers acting outside NATO’s command structure.

London remains cautious about the idea of sending British troops to Ukraine as part of any such peacekeeping force, even though Prime Minister Starmer is said to have discussed the matter with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to The Telegraph.
