UK to help Ukraine stop Russia from launching missiles – PM Burnham
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham will work to strengthen assistance to Ukraine, including through the Coalition of the Willing, particularly in air defense and efforts to counter Russian missile strikes.
British Prime Minister Jeremy Burnham pledged to assist Ukraine in preventing Russia from launching missiles during a ceremony celebrating Ukraine's Independence Day in Kyiv. During the event, Burnham emphasized that Ukraine is on the front lines of Europe's security, and its allies must provide not only support but also show gratitude and respect.
Despite threats from Russia towards Britain, the Prime Minister assured that Britain would continue to aid Ukraine's defense efforts. Burnham announced that he would join forces with President Macron and Chancellor Merz to form the Coalition of the Willing, with the goal of delivering stronger support to Ukraine. He outlined plans to provide air defense, prevent Russia from launching missiles, impose sanctions on supply chains, destroy missiles prior to launch, and assist Ukraine in developing new technologies.
Burnham stressed the urgency to maintain pressure on Russia, aiming to weaken their capacity to fund the ongoing illegal war, ultimately demonstrating that Russia cannot achieve victory in the conflict. The ceremony also featured President Volodymyr Zelensky, First Lady Olena Zelenska, and other foreign dignitaries. It was reported that the Coalition of the Willing will convene in Kyiv on August 24.
