2nd Annual Ukraine Freedom Summit

Four days that moved the needle.

London, 7–10 September 2025, at IET Savoy Place. The Summit brought together defence-industry leaders, government officials, and Ukrainian heroes — delivering strategic partnerships, veteran-support initiatives, and the defence innovations shaping Ukraine's path to freedom.

Day 1

UK–Ukraine Veterans Charity Golf Tournament

The Summit opened by bringing together veterans of the Russo-Ukrainian War and veterans from the United Kingdom — building cross-national camaraderie, psychological recovery, and new friendships, and showing the world a Ukraine that is strong and rational, not the caricature Russian propaganda paints.

  • Sincere connection between Ukrainian and British veterans
  • Psychological recovery through sport
  • A positive, human face of Ukraine on the world stage

Day 2

Ukraine Defence Innovation Forum

Special addresses by Gen. H.R. McMaster and Boris Johnson, plus seven panels. The forum highlighted the urgency of financing Ukrainian defence production and Ukraine's ability to innovate at battlefield speed.

  • Boris Johnson: Ukraine's right to strike Russian military bases
  • How Ukraine became the world's leading defence-innovation laboratory
  • Drones, autonomous systems, and electronic warfare in modern conflict
  • Scaling from prototypes to industrial production
  • A new security architecture for Europe

Day 3

Ukraine Economic Investment Forum

Under the motto “Building the Arsenal of Prosperity: Ukraine's Economic Victory,” politicians, investors, economists, and entrepreneurs mapped Ukraine's recovery.

  • Ukraine's economic strength as Europe's security shield
  • A new 'Marshall Plan' — and unfreezing Russian assets for reconstruction
  • Ukrainian innovation shaping Europe's industrial future
  • Ukraine as Europe's 'green battery' for sustainable energy
  • Philanthropy driving recovery; rebuilding stronger, from gas networks to hospitals

Day 4

Ukraine Veterans Leadership Forum

A plan for warriors to become the foundation of Ukraine's democratic future — leaders in communities, politics, and the economy — with ministers, international partners, and veteran organizations. 20+ veterans on stage.

  • Heroic stories as the foundation of state-building
  • Employment, business, and physical & psychological recovery
  • Reintegration after captivity
  • The sacrifice of Ukraine's warriors shaping a lasting national identity
“The only way to get Putin to stop the bloodshed — and this should be our main goal — is to use force. But not only military force. We are talking about the collective economic, military and political power of the united West.”

— Boris Johnson, former British Prime Minister
