UK to give Ukraine Storm Shadow production technology – PM Burnham
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed he has approved a request to give Ukraine the technology to produce Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has approved a request from Ukraine to receive technology for producing Storm Shadow cruise missiles. This marks the first instance of the UK providing such assistance to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested the technology at a Coalition of the Willing summit in Kyiv. Burnham emphasized the importance of air defense for Ukraine, especially as Russia runs out of options and Vladimir Putin aims to win through terror tactics using ballistic missiles against civilian populations.
Burnham urged British industry to support the Frejya anti-ballistic missile project as a cheaper alternative to Patriot systems. French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to monitor preparations for Ukraine's winter and proposed a meeting of defense and foreign ministers to address the ongoing threat from Russia's "shadow fleet."
