Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets with Prime Minister Andy Burnham to reaffirm British support for Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in England on Monday to meet with Prime Minister Andy Burnham at a naval base in Portsmouth. The meeting served to signal the United Kingdom's unwavering support for Ukraine as the country continues to face Russia's full-scale invasion. During the visit, Burnham pledged to honor every commitment made by the UK to Kyiv and announced that the UK would share the intellectual property behind its new "Stone Cloak" electronic warfare system with Ukraine. This technology is designed to jam Russian air defenses and prevent drones from being detected. The two leaders also met with over 200 Ukrainian military personnel who have been participating in maritime exercises in Britain to improve counter-mine measures in the Black Sea. Zelenskyy noted that the relationship between the UK and Ukraine is stronger than ever, while Burnham emphasized the goal of achieving a long-lasting and just peace. The visit comes ahead of Zelenskyy's scheduled meeting with President Trump in Washington.
