Why Zelensky’s assembly with Burnham issues
Prime Minister Andy Burnham welcomed President Volodymyr Zelensky to Downing Street on Wednesday, because the Ukrainian chief appears to be like to shore up his European allies 5 years into Russia’s battle on Ukraine.
Burnham advised Zelensky that Britain “would eternally stand by you” and that he was accelerating the supply of air defences to Ukraine.
Burnham beforehand advised MPs that he would attempt to “restore bridges” between Ukraine and the United States and that Ukraine will not go away “empty-handed”.
The two leaders met at No 10 Downing Street the place Zelensky was welcomed with a navy ceremonial guard – considered a primary for a international chief.
