Burnham hosts Zelensky and offers ‘stone cloak’ devices just a week after taking PM job

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his first international visit since assuming office. During the meeting, Burnham announced the transfer of the intellectual property for the UK's 'Stone Cloak' electronic warfare system to Ukraine, allowing them to mass-produce the technology. This device helps block Russian detection of drones equipped with it. The UK has already provided thousands of these jammers to Ukrainian forces. Burnham emphasized the UK's unwavering support for Ukraine and reiterated the importance of continued assistance in achieving lasting peace. The visit included meetings with over 200 Ukrainian military personnel participating in Exercise Sea Breeze, which aims to enhance warfighting capabilities in the Black Sea region.
