LONDON – British Foreign Minister David Lammy on Feb 15 called on US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to forge a deepened partnership for the future.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Lammy emphasized the importance of a long-term alliance between the two nations. “I would encourage Donald Trump and the Ukrainians to look very carefully at a deepening partnership over the next generations,” he stated.
In January, Britain and Ukraine signed a landmark 100-year partnership agreement aimed at enhancing security ties and strengthening bilateral relations.
Lammy underscored that binding US industry, business, and defense capability into Ukraine’s future would be the strongest security guarantee against future Russian aggression. “That is what will make Putin sit up and pay attention, and that is what’s attractive to a US president who knows how to get a good deal,” he added.
