Keir Starmer's government announced a 100-year partnership with Ukraine during a meeting with President Zelenskyy amid concerns regarding shifting Western support under Trump. While both leaders seem sincere about their commitment, the partnership primarily serves as symbolic rather than substantive, offering no new measures to support Ukraine during a time of potential policy changes in the West. Historical context suggests that many treaties are often ceremonial, with the UK having signed numerous treaties since its inception, raising questions about the real value of this latest agreement amid geopolitical uncertainty.
The 100-year partnership between the UK and Ukraine is viewed as largely symbolic, failing to present new strategies to bolster Ukraine amid shifting Western policies.
While Starmer and Zelenskyy appear committed, this partnership does not equate to a substantive shift in support at a time when Western policy is changing.
