Andy Burnham hosts Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Downing Street to show UK support
Prime Minister Andy Burnham welcomed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to No 10 Downing Street on Wednesday.
Commitment to long term aid
Burnham told the Ukrainian leader that Britain would stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes. The Prime Minister also stated he is accelerating the delivery of air defences to help protect the country.
Ceremonial welcome and security details
The meeting took place with a military ceremonial guard, which sources suggest may be the first time such an honour has been given. This event occurs as Ukraine faces increased attacks from Russian missiles and drones.
Plans for missile exports
Officials plan to move more rapidly in providing British-made lightweight multi-role missiles to Ukraine. These weapons are intended to help defend against new generation Russian jet-powered drones.
