Since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, and especially following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, relations have been extremely close as the UK has provided large amounts of military, humanitarian, financial and intelligence aid to Ukraine.[2] Ukraine and the UK, along with Poland agreed to form a trilateral security pact in early 2022. During a visit to Ukraine in April, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and suggested the formation of a "European commonwealth". The proposed association would be an economic and political union that included Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Turkey.[3]
