Ukraine war: Before inaugural visit – Burnham wants to support the construction of long-range missiles

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is making his first foreign trip in office to Ukraine. He stated that the UK stands "unwaveringly" by Ukraine's side "for as long as necessary" in its conflict with Russia.
