Andy Burnham in Ukraine to hand over UK blueprints to make long-range missiles | BBC News

Andy Burnham has arrived in Kyiv for his first foreign visit as UK prime minister, where it is expected he will hand over blueprints so Ukraine can build its own long-range missiles.

It comes as the UK government has agreed to allow defence company MBDA to declassify information on UK components for the long-range Scalp missile – the French equivalent of the UK's Storm Shadow.

The prime minister will also chair his first meeting of the "coalition of the willing", set up by the UK and France under his predecessor, Sir Keir Starmer.

Last week, Moscow warned of "consequences" over the use of British drones by Ukraine in its recent ramping up of strikes on Russian infrastructure.
