What has the UK promised Ukraine in Starmer's 100-year deal?

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has signed a 100-year partnership agreement with Ukraine to provide support across various sectors, including healthcare and military technology, while pledging to provide security guarantees if an end to Russia's war comes. During Starmer's first visit to Kyiv since becoming prime minister, the British leader told a news conference on Thursday that the United Kingdom would examine "the practical ways to get a just and lasting peace … that guarantees your security, your independence and your right to choose your own future". "We will work with you and all of our allies on steps that would be robust enough to guarantee Ukraine's security," Starmer said. "Those conversations will continue for many months ahead." While Starmer was speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the presidential palace, loud blasts and air raid sirens were heard over Kyiv as air defence systems took aim at a Russian drone attack. The British leader said the Russian attack served as a reminder of the situation on the ground.
