Zelenskiy Visits Britain as Burnham Pledges Fresh Support for Ukraine
Britain will provide £45 million in missiles, with £10 million fast-tracked, as Burnham seeks more sanctions and fiscal support for Ukraine.
- On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy meets British Prime Minister Andy Burnham in London, where Britain announces a £45 million package of surface-to-air missiles to support Ukraine's defense against Russian drones.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated, "My message to the Ukrainian people could not be clearer," pledging Britain remains committed to backing Ukraine's fight for peace in Europe for as long as necessary.
