Ukraine-Krieg: Vor Antrittsbesuch – Burnham will Bau von Langstreckenraketen unterstützen
Der britische Premierminister Andy Burnham macht seine erste Auslandsreise in die Ukraine. Schon vorher kündigt er Unterstützung für die dortige Produktion von Langstreckenraketen an.
In his inaugural overseas trip as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham is set to visit Ukraine on Monday. The United Kingdom stands resolute in its support for Ukraine, which has been under attack by Russia, as Burnham affirmed in a statement from his office. He emphasized that "Russia should not doubt our determination. We will not abandon Ukraine until a fair and lasting peace is achieved."
The safety of Ukraine is also crucial for the security of the United Kingdom. The UK government has granted the French-British-Italian defense company MBDA the ability to share classified information to enable Ukraine to manufacture Scalp missiles domestically, according to Burnham's office. This provision allows both Ukraine and France to establish a production line in Ukraine.
Ukrainian military forces have already been utilizing UK and French-supplied missiles with a range of over 250 kilometers. These Scalp missiles, known as Storm Shadow in the UK and Scalp in France, enable Ukraine to launch precise attacks far beyond the front lines.
