The two sides will sign an intergovernmental agreement to support the Ukrainian defense industry, discuss future defense cooperation, and expand Ukraine's defense capabilities.
"Since the first days of the full-scale invasion, the UK has been one step ahead in its determination to support Ukraine. This is the kind of determination we need to stop Russian terror," Zelenskyy said.
