In Kyiv, the United Kingdom’s Deputy Prime Minister, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, David Lammy, held substantive discussions with senior Ukrainian leaders, underscoring the UK’s steadfast support for Ukraine’s security, sovereignty, and European integration.

Lammy’s presence in the Ukrainian capital came amid continued international efforts to bolster Ukraine’s resilience in the face of ongoing military pressures.

Lammy reaffirmed Britain’s commitment to collaborative defence and political engagement, addressing a range of bilateral and regional issues as part of the UK’s long-term support strategy.

His discussions followed significant diplomatic activity by the UK in support of Ukraine throughout the past year, including visits to Kyiv to announce targeted aid packages and to consult with Ukrainian officials on shared security objectives.

The UK government has positioned itself as a central partner in Ukraine’s defence and reconstruction, aligning with broader allied efforts to reinforce Ukraine’s capacity to defend its territory and advance toward future integration with Euro-Atlantic structures.

Lammy’s talks in Kyiv were part of continued high-level engagement between British and Ukrainian officials, with both sides emphasizing the importance of sustained cooperation and mutual strategic interests.
