Zelenskyy meets Burnham in London seeking UK support
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 09:02 · Archive
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting British Prime Minister Andy Burnham in London on Wednesday for talks on military support. Kyiv and its European supporters are racing to shore up Ukrainian defences amid Russia's escalating bombardment and doubts about the Trump administration's commitment to helping Ukraine. The war began in February 2022.
Burnham's office said the UK government will provide 'urgent support' for Kyiv in the coming weeks and will accelerate delivery of air defense missiles that Ukraine desperately needs before the bitter winter sets in. Burnham stated: 'My message to the Ukrainian people could not be clearer, we are with you for as long as it takes, and we will go further and faster in our support to back your courageous fight for peace in Europe.'
The visit follows US President Donald Trump's announcement last week of a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel. This decision added to concerns among Ukrainian and Western European leaders about Trump's approach to the conflict.
