Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to London Tuesday for high-level discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, focusing on strengthening defense cooperation between their nations, according to the British government.

The meeting centers on finalizing an enhanced partnership agreement for collaborative development and manufacturing of unmanned aircraft and additional military equipment, Downing Street announced.

Officials indicated that both Ukraine and Britain will explore possibilities for expanding defense technology partnerships with additional allied nations.

“Drones, electronic warfare and rapid battlefield innovation are now central to national and economic security, and that has only been further magnified by the conflict in the Middle East,” Starmer said in the statement.
