UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham plans to visit the US in September to discuss Ukraine's defense needs with President Trump, coinciding with the UN General Assembly. This trip marks Burnham's first visit to the US since taking office in July and follows his recent official visit to Ukraine, where he emphasized ongoing support against Russian aggression.
During his visit to Ukraine, Burnham, alongside European leaders, committed to enhancing Kyiv's air defenses and condemned Russia's attacks on civilians and infrastructure. He expressed confidence in finding solutions for Ukraine's military needs, including potential support for Patriot missiles from various sources.
