British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband visited Ukraine for the first time since his appointment to the post. During the trip, he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, reaffirming that London will continue to provide Kyiv with comprehensive support in its confrontation with Russia.
Following the meetings, Miliband addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin directly, stating: "You will not outlast us." With this statement, he emphasized Britain's intention to maintain long-term commitment to supporting Ukraine despite the protracted nature of the conflict.
The visit served as a symbolic step demonstrating the continuity of British foreign policy toward Ukraine under the new head of the foreign ministry. The sides discussed further military, diplomatic, and humanitarian assistance, as well as coordination with other Western allies amid the ongoing war.
Miliband's statements came against the backdrop of continuing hostilities and uncertainty regarding prospects for a peaceful settlement. Britain has repeatedly confirmed its status as one of Kyiv's key allies among Western nations, providing military equipment, financial assistance, and diplomatic support since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
