Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to visit Kyiv on Ukraine's independence day, where he will announce plans to enhance Ukraine's ability to produce long-range missiles. The UK government will allow the European defense company MBDA to declassify information on Storm Shadow missile components, aiding Ukraine in developing its own versions.
This initiative comes amid escalating tensions with Russia and follows recent missile attacks on Ukraine. While the impact of this support may take years to materialize, it underscores the UK's commitment to Ukraine's security and sovereignty.
