KYIV — U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has arrived in Ukraine to pledge more weapons and promise British support for the next 100 years, as the war against invading Russian forces enters a critical phase.
Almost three years since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion began, Donald Trump is due to return to the White House as U.S. president and has pledged to end the war in short order.
At the same time, political forces sympathetic to Moscow are gaining ground across Europe — in countries including Austria, Romania and Germany.

Why anyone in Europe would be sympathetic towards Putin or Moscow is beyond me. It reminds me of that cartoon with two sheep looking at a poster of a wolf saying “I will eat you”, and one of them saying to the other “he tells it like it is!”
Russian money and disinformation campaigns. The same as in the US, really.
Slava Ukraini!
Umm… no. Nobody believes that treaties like this can last anywhere near the expiration date.
I legitimately feel bad for the Ukrainians that get hope from this. It’s just posturing.
England and the UK have shown throughout the centuries they stand by these types of treaties. I don’t think this is just posturing.
The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373 was signed on 16 June 1373 between King Edward III of England and King Ferdinand I and Queen Leonor of Portugal. It established a treaty of “perpetual friendships, unions [and] alliances” between the two seafaring states, and remains the longest-standing treaty still in effect today.
