UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham hosting Volodymyr Zelensky as first foreign visitor

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday, marking Burnham's first international visitor. The meeting will take place at a naval base where they will observe UK-led training programs for Ukrainian forces, including over 200 military personnel participating in Exercise Sea Breeze. Burnham stated, "Britain stands with Ukraine, shoulder to shoulder, and our support remains unwavering." Since 2022, the UK has provided £25 billion in support to Ukraine, with £16 billion in military aid. Burnham's predecessor, Keir Starmer, had pledged €300 million for 16 Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets for Ukraine.
