UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer assured Ukrainians that the UK will support them "today and always" as Kiev celebrated 33 years since its independence from the Soviet Union.

The PM emphasized that his message to both frontline fighters and those who have sought refuge in Britain is "crystal clear." Meanwhile, community groups, councils, and parishes across the UK are preparing to commemorate the anniversary on Saturday.

In his message, Starmer said, "My message to all Ukrainians, whether on the frontline or here in your second home in the UK, is crystal clear: we are with you today and always."

"That is what I told President Zelensky when he sat at our cabinet table and where, on behalf of the British people, I outlined that it is not just the British government that’s behind Ukraine – it’s all of us."

He further said, "We are with you for as long as it takes," adding "Slava Ukraini", meaning glory to Ukraine.

The government said more than 45,000 Ukrainian recruits have received training on British soil since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

Zelensky criticizes UK government

However, this commitment contrasts with recent criticism from Zelensky, who has expressed disappointment with the UK's current level of support. 

He openly criticized the UK government on August 18, asserting that it once displayed "real leadership" but is now falling behind, while declaring that his administration urges his Western alliance to take "bold steps" in supporting Kiev's war efforts amid its war with Russia.

During his daily address, Zelensky said, "In particular, we have seen throughout this war that the United Kingdom has shown real leadership. In weaponry, in politics, and in supporting the life of Ukrainian society… This is what reflects the strength of the United Kingdom."

"But now, unfortunately, the situation has slowed down. We will discuss how to fix this. Because long-range capabilities are a matter of principle for us," Zelensky continued.
