Why Burnham benefits from the Zelenskyy visit
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Week two of Andy Burnham's premiership and he's hosting his first foreign leader - from all of the UK's allies, he picked the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
It was a meeting with benefits for both leaders - as Mr Zelenskyy seeks support on defence, while Mr Burnham wants to show off his foreign policy credentials.
They both may have got what they wanted after the UK prime minister announced support for Ukraine in relation to "Stone Cloak" drone jammers. So what is the technology and how might it help with the war effort?
Mhari Aurora and Sky's military analyst Professor Michael Clarke also discuss how important the UK's support is for Ukraine and how long it can last.
