Zelenskyy will be the first foreign leader to visit Burnham since he took office a week ago.

The visit aims to demonstrate “the UK’s unwavering support” for Ukraine, Burnham said in a statement.

The pair will visit a British naval base where Ukrainian soldiers are taking part in an exercise. According to the statement, Ukraine will also get a glimpse of the new battle-tested “Stone Cloak” jamming system.

On Tuesday, Zelenskyy will travel to Washington for talks with President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy is also expected to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham.
