Today in Focus · Burnham hands secret missile technology to Ukraine – The Latest · 24 Aug 2026 podcast
And I think Burnham's support for Ukraine has has been very elevated, very steadfast, very rhetorical.
But now actually for the first time he's witnessing the human cost of this terrible war.
That's right.
There's definitely a message going to Ukraine, which is despite the the turmoil in Britain, I think we can call it turmoil, the change of of Prime Minister from Kirstama, remember him, to to Burnham.
I mean Sama also, of course, was a big advocate for Ukraine.
Um, that this partnership, the strategic partnership will continue.
And of course, both sides last year signed a h a hundred year sort of agreement, contract that
That UK support would continue.
It's a message too to to the UK's European allies that the coalition of the willing, which Burnham is co-chairing today with um uh with Macron, President Macron from France, that that that that absolutely continues.
Yeah.
And I think there's a slightly subtle message to the Trump administration, which frankly has checked out when it comes to backing Ukraine.
Donald Trump, as you will remember, one of the first things he did was to cut.
Direct US military support to Ukraine.
And the thing that the Ukrainians really need urgently at the moment are patriot missile interceptors to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles that have been terrorizing Ukrainian cities.
Terror.
And of course, Trump is not giving them.
I mean, they're in short supply because of the war in Iran.
So I think there's a message there that the UK will pursue its own course, even as the Trump administration really sits by and does.
Does almost nothing.
Which are manufactured by by London and Paris, where they're called Scalp.
