Prime Minister Andy Burnham said UK support for Ukraine “remains unwavering” ahead of welcoming Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday as his first international visitor since becoming Prime Minister.

He will host the Ukrainian president a week after entering Downing Street, underlining the Government’s continued backing for Kyiv under his premiership.

According to Burnham’s Downing Street office, the two leaders will visit a naval base where Burnham will announce that Britain will hand over the intellectual property behind its new “Stone Cloak” electronic warfare system, enabling Ukraine to produce the technology at scale.

The size of a tablet computer and attached to drones, the military-grade jammers can hinder Russian air defence systems from tracking and targeting such weapons in flight, the statement added.
