UK announces accelerated missile deliveries during Zelensky visit to London

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Downing Street on Wednesday to announce new military and financial support for Ukraine.

The UK will provide £45 million for surface-to-air missiles. Britain will also speed up delivery of more than 5,000 lightweight missiles, with £1.6 billion in funding over four years.

Burnham said Britain would prepare new sanctions against Russia and called on other countries to do the same. He also urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire on energy attacks.
