UK-Ukraine relations
Since the United Kingdom (UK) recognized Ukraine's independence in 1992, bilateral relations between the two countries have been increasingly deepened, especially since the signing of the Political, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement (PFTSPA) in 2020.
This strategic partnership only deepened with Russia's aggression against Ukraine. As intelligence revealed that the Kremlin would renew its offensive, Britain began providing large amounts of financial, humanitarian and military support to Ukraine.
Decisive action by HM Government in January and February 2022 ensured that Ukraine was able to secure Kiev, and since then the UK has continued to lead Europe in support of Ukraine.
