A powerful visit by the NATO Military Committee to Ukraine:
-The first visit to Ukraine in eight years — and the first-ever to Kyiv.
-The first-ever NATO–Ukraine Council meeting at the Military Committee level.
A strong signal to Putin that support for Ukraine remains among NATO’s top priorities.
Our partnership is growing stronger, deeper, and increasingly becoming a genuine two-way street.
Proud to have been part of this landmark visit.
Special thanks to the @CMC_NATO for your leadership, and to the @CinC_AFU
@GeneralStaffUA for hosting the Committee in Ukraine and outlining Ukraine’s key priorities.

Whether backing Ukraine, defending the Arctic or tackling hybrid threats, the UK is at the helm of a stronger, more European NATO.
Meeting @SecGenNATO yesterday, I underlined how NATO remains the cornerstone of our security and how we will work with Allies to make us safer at home.

Great to meet with 🇬🇧 Prime Minister @andyburnham. The UK is one of the leading Allies in #NATO. Together, in our Alliance, we are protecting our people and defending our democracies. I welcome the planned increases in UK defence spending, because we face a more dangerous world. Investing in defence also helps grow economies and creates jobs

Warm and sincere Independence Day wishes from His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen are deeply moving and exceptionally meaningful.
I am grateful for the emphasis on Ukraine’s history, rich culture, and unyielding national spirit, as well as the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who continue to defend their homeland and uphold the values that define our state.
The steadfast friendship between Ukraine and the United Kingdom remains an invaluable wellspring of strength for our nation.
We are sincerely grateful for the constant solidarity shown by the British people. Our special bond is built upon our shared commitment to freedom, democracy, and justice.
I wish His Majesty good health and continued success, as well as peace and prosperity for the United Kingdom and its people.

It was a privilege to meet with Ukrainian veterans today at a military hospital in Kyiv.
I’m proud that the patients here have been supported by a UK charity who have trained over 1,000 surgeons, anaesthetists, and other healthcare workers.
Our support for Ukraine is unwavering, and I’m glad to be here to show it in person.

The UK 🇬🇧 has declared its independent nuclear deterrent to the defence of #NATO since 1962 - the only European country to do so
Today, that deterrent got £8.4bn stronger

These were horrific overnight strikes. The UK stands with the people of Ukraine, now & for as long as it takes. And we stand in solidarity with Poland, Romania & all NATO allies after violations of NATO airspace. Russia's aggression threatens security far beyond Ukraine's borders

Britain stands with Ukraine, shoulder to shoulder, always.
Russia should be in no doubt of our resolve, and we will not back down until we achieve long lasting and just peace for Ukraine.
Great to see you @ZelenskyyUa.

I welcome the UK’s Defence Investment Plan. Stronger UK defence makes us all safer. This is a good step towards reaching the 3.5% of GDP on defence agreed in The Hague last year
Defence spending and production will be an important focus of the #NATOsummit next week

For over 75 years, NATO has kept the UK and our Allies safe.
The alliance is the cornerstone of our defence. Today I met with @SecGenNATO and our allies to discuss how we are strengthening our deterrence and security and stepping up our support for Ukraine.

Great to meet Norwegian Defence Minister @toreosa and German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius in Brussels.
We agreed to further step up our close cooperation on defence and deterrence in the High North and Atlantic. Together, we’re building a more secure Europe.
