Ukraine and Britain to sign two documents worth £1.25 billion
One of them is a memorandum on the development of the Ukrainian Navy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that during his visit to Britain two important strategic documents will be signed: an Agreement on Strategic Partnership and Trade, and a Memorandum on the Development of the Ukrainian Navy. This is reported by Interfax-Ukraine.
The memorandum on the development of the Ukrainian Navy will make it possible to count on receiving £1.25 billion from Britain. The documents will be signed during a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Volodymyr Zelensky
President of UkraineThis is a very important visit. I consider it a historic visit. First of all, we expect a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. There will be a substantive meeting, and we will sign an important historic agreement on strategic partnership and trade between our countries, which makes it possible to continue and expand the free trade area agreement between our countries after Britain leaves the EU.
Zelensky also said that he expects to receive support from Britain in the field of infrastructure for the psychological rehabilitation of Ukrainian military personnel. In addition, the President of Ukraine announced meetings with the Ukrainian community and British business.
Zelensky's visit to Britain came the day after a Ukraine–EU summit was held in Brussels. During it, agreement was reached on restoring the full visa-free regime and financial assistance of €60 million.
A few days ago Britain discussed with the EU a trade agreement under Brexit conditions.
