British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to announce a defence cooperation agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, focusing on countering drone attacks. The partnership will combine Ukrainian battlefield experience with the UK's industrial base to develop and produce drones and other military capabilities. The UK will also fund the creation of an artificial intelligence centre in Kyiv.
