Burnham pledges 'unwavering' UK support to Zelensky amid US-Russia diesel deal fallout
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in London to reaffirm British support after US President Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. Burnham promised accelerated military aid, including 5,000 lightweight multirole missiles, and new sanctions on Russian LNG. Zelensky criticized the US move as a betrayal, while Burnham sought to 'repair bridges' with Washington without directly condemning Trump.
