The new century-long agreement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom includes the creation of specialized joint flotillas, as announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

"Together, we are strengthening maritime security in the Black and Azov seas. The agreement provides for the creation of specialized joint flotillas," Zelenskyy said.

The President's Office reported that the document established a partnership in maritime security and the formation of joint flotillas, specifically aimed at enhancing security in the Baltic, Black, and Azov seas.
