“Britain and Ukraine’s leaders on Thursday signed a ‘landmark’ 100-year agreement that pledges strengthening defence ties between the two countries during a visit to Kyiv by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Loud blasts and air raid sirens rang out over Kyiv just hours after Starmer’s arrival as air defence systems repelled a Russian drone attack, officials reported. … The deal commits the two sides to cooperate on defence and battlefield technology, such as drones, while implementing a system to help locate grain exported by Russia from occupied parts of Ukraine.” (01/16/25)
