The British prime minister will reaffirm London's support for Kyiv, pledging to strengthen ties with Ukraine after taking office last week
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham will on Monday host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as his first foreign leader since taking office a week ago, to underline London’s “unwavering support” for Kyiv.
The pair were set to visit a British naval base and hear from both countries’ armed forces personnel involved in training Ukrainian service members for battle, Burnham’s Downing Street office announced late Sunday.
It said he would vow “to continue the unbreakable beyond between the two nations,” echoing what the new UK leader told Zelenskyy in a call last Monday within hours of replacing Keir Starmer.
“Britain stands with Ukraine, shoulder to shoulder, and our support remains unwavering,” Burnham said in a statement.
