Burnham to bring Zelensky’s appeal for Patriot missiles to US

U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham will lobby for Ukraine to obtain some of the United States’s limited Patriot interceptor missiles when he visits the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Burnham met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday in Kyiv, during which Zelensky repeated his desperate appeals for more Patriot interceptor missiles to help weather Russian drone and missile attacks. Speaking to Bloomberg, Burnham said he was “looking forward” to going to New York next month, with his Kyiv visit having made up his mind.
