KYIV (AP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Ukraine on Thursday, pledging to help guarantee the country’s security for a century days before Donald Trump is sworn in as U.S. president.

The British government says Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sign a “100-Year Partnership” treaty in Kyiv, covering areas including defense, science, energy and trade.

Starmer’s unannounced visit is his first trip to Ukraine since he took office in July. He visited the country in 2023 when he was opposition leader, and has twice held talks with Zelenskyy in 10 Downing St. since becoming prime minister.

One of Ukraine’s biggest military backers, the U.K. has pledged 12.8 billion pounds ($16 billion) in military and civilian aid to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago, and has trained more than 50,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil. Starmer is due to announce another 40 million pounds ($49 million) for Ukraine’s post-war economic recovery.

特朗普宣誓就職前幾天，英國施紀賢抵達烏克蘭與澤連斯基舉行安全會談

基輔（美聯社）—在特朗普宣誓就任美國總統之前幾天, 英國首相施紀賢週四抵達烏克蘭，承諾幫助保障烏克蘭的安全一百年。

英國政府稱，施紀賢和烏克蘭總統澤連斯基將在基輔簽署「百年夥伴關係」條約，涵蓋國防、科學、能源和貿易等領域。

施紀賢的這次未經宣布的訪問是他自7月上任以來首次訪問烏克蘭。他在2023年擔任反對黨領袖時訪問過該國，自擔任首相以來曾兩次在唐寧街10號與澤連斯基舉行會談。

英國是烏克蘭最大的軍事支持者之一，自三年前俄羅斯全面入侵以來，英國已承諾向烏克蘭提供128 億英鎊（160 億美元）的軍事和民事援助，並在英國領土上訓練了超過50,000 名烏克蘭士兵。施紀賢將宣布再撥款 4,000 萬英鎊（4,900 萬美元）用於烏克蘭戰後經濟復甦。

So, the UK has pledged to help guarantee Ukraine’s security for a century just days before Donald Trump is sworn in as U.S. president. The UK is one of Ukraine’s biggest military backers and has pledged 12.8 billion pounds ($16 billion) in aid to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago. It also has trained Ukrainian troops on British soil. While the UK is probably making a political move that bets on the good future of Ukraine, to the Ukrainian, the British’ s move is a visualization of an old English saying that “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.
