One of the Center’s projects is monitoring the implementation of security agreements that Ukraine has signed with partners to strengthen its defense capabilities. Yehor Brailian has been studying the foreign policy of the United Kingdom and Ukrainian-British relations for a long time.

The participants were Viktoria Vdovichenko, Co-Director of the Future for Ukraine Program at the Center for Geopolitics, University of Cambridge, Yehor Brailian, and Daria Cherniavska, Security Program Analyst at the Dnistrianskyi Center.

In his Yehor Brailian analyzed the evolution of Ukrainian-British relations after 2014, declaring the transformation from a multilateral format of London's policy towards Kyiv to a strategic partnership.

And a year later, in January 2025, Ukraine and Great Britain signed an agreement on a 100-year partnership.
