Do EU steam keys activate in the UK?

yes I know we are no longer in the EU (

) but I was just wondering if games Devs bothered to update their key compatibility or if I can safely buy EU keys?
I searched online and the majority of people claimed they work fine but these posts were back in 2019-2021 so I figure things could have changed.
thanks

Usually it states 'can activate in the UK' when you're browsing them to buy?

Yeah I believe EU includes the UK, as mentioned here:

I usually use CD Keys and they clearly state if the key you are buying can be activated in the UK, which is always reassuring.

I'm sure I've just used a VPN in the past if I've had problems with activation. There's always a way.
