UK PM hosts Ukrainian President for first international visit

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today for his first international visit since taking office. The meeting underscores Britain's unwavering support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict.

According to reports, the two leaders are expected to convene at a naval base. There, they will receive briefings on how British-led training programs are bolstering Ukraine's armed forces and contributing to battlefield successes. Burnham's office stated the visit signifies continued solidarity with Ukraine.

Burnham, who was sworn in as the UK's new Prime Minister on July 20, had spoken with Zelenskyy by phone on the same day. During that call, Burnham extended an invitation for Zelenskyy to visit the UK at his earliest convenience. The current visit fulfills that invitation.

Burnham expressed his commitment to Ukraine, stating, "Britain stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, and our support remains unwavering." He added, "Russia should not be in any doubt about our resolve, and we will not give up until we have achieved a lasting and just peace for Ukraine."
