Ukrainians criticize historic UK security agreement as weak, but encouraging

A new bilateral security agreement between Kyiv and London is getting mixed grades in Ukraine. Signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Jan. 12, the 16-page document spells out both countries’ intentions to work together on strengthening Ukraine’s military, defense industry, infrastructure, maritime borders, and cybersecurity for the next 10 years, unless Ukraine joins NATO before that. The U.K. also promised to provide political, economic, and humanitarian support, work to contain the organized crime that finances Moscow’s aggression, and help Ukraine restore its territorial integrity.
