He will also deliver a speech at the 55th Atlantic Treaty Association General Assembly in Kyiv and take part in the follow-up discussion.

Sir Stewart said, “I am delighted to be in Ukraine again. It is clear that the UK and Ukraine have a strategic relationship and share many common European values. This is particularly true in relation to Ukraine's democratic reform agenda. The UK is working hard with NATO partners to promote further democratisation, help fight corruption, build the rule of law and improve Ukraine's judicial system. These reforms will make a real difference to the day-to-day lives of ordinary Ukrainians."
