Starmer: UK will ‘never let up’ on support for Ukraine Ukraine must be put in the “strongest possible position” in 2025, Sir Keir Starmer said as he made his first trip to Kyiv as Prime Minister.
The visit comes just days before Donald Trump enters the White House, potentially signalling a shift in US support for Ukraine’s war effort in favour of a push for a peace deal.
Sir Keir said he would discuss what further support he could offer to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky during the visit.
Speaking to broadcasters at a hospital in Kyiv, he said: “It’s very important we ensure that Ukraine is in the strongest possible position.
I’m here at the burns unit of one of the Kyiv hospitals, which is a grim reminder of the heavy price Ukraine is paying.
