“The Foreign Secretary also kicked off negotiations with Ukraine on a 100 Year Partnership – a new agreement that will build enduring links between our two countries across the spectrum of trade, security and defense cooperation, science and tech, education, culture, and much more,” said the Embassy.

The Foreign Secretary witnessed the resilience of Ukrainians in the face of Russian attacks and noted that this war is a challenge for our entire generation, and Ukraine cannot fight it alone:

“We must all step up to ensure Ukraine has what it needs to win,” said Cameron.

Cameron confirmed a £36 million ($45.2 million) package for Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, including £20 million ($25.1 million) in emergency funding following the recent barrage of attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and an extra £16 million ($20.1 million) for the winners of the Innovate Ukraine competition.
