The dossier also sets out plans for protecting post-war Ukraine, including a promise to step up weapons deliveries and financial support in case of another Russian attack.
Any sanctions, which Western officials say have dealt a £350 billion blow to Moscow’s economy, dropped after the current conflict will be reintroduced.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “At Vilnius in July 2023, the UK, Ukraine, and other members of the G7 issued a joint declaration, stating our aim to formalise our enduring support to Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity, rebuilds its economy, protects its citizens, and pursues integration into the Euro-Atlantic community.
“We continue to work closely with Ukraine to provide it with the military, diplomatic and economic support it needs until the end of this war and beyond,” the spokesperson added.
The Telegraph can also reveal details of the EU’s offer to Ukraine for a long-term security package, which was discussed by the bloc’s leaders at a Brussels summit last week.
A source close to the negotiations over the nine-point plan said Kyiv had been promised further weapons deliveries as part of a €20 billion deal over the next four years.
The bloc will aim to “enhance cooperation between the European and Ukrainian defence industries”, with the aim of helping Kyiv produce more Nato-standard weapons domestically.
It will also prolong its training programme for Ukrainian troops and commit to “continuous sharing of intelligence from member states and satellite imagery”, as well as dispatch an “advisory mission” to the country to prevent small arms illegally seeping out.
Brussels will also commit to funding de-mining efforts once the war draws to an end.
In return, Ukraine has promised its international partners it will reform military transparency, modernise its military and implement law enforcement, judicial and anti-corruption measures.
