Burnham has vowed to give strong support to Ukraine as it battles Russia's invasion
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham will visit Kyiv on Monday on his first international visit since taking office last month, his office said, as Ukraine marks its 35th independence anniversary.
Burnham has vowed to give strong support to Ukraine as it battles Russia’s invasion.
The Labour Party leader’s visit comes as he announced that Britain had “agreed that defence firm MBDA can release classified information on UK components for the long-range missile, SCALP, to establish local assembly lines in Ukraine,” a statement said.
The missile is the French-produced version of the UK’s Storm Shadow, with both using shared French and British technology.
