UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated his role is to "repair bridges" between Ukraine and the United States, ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Downing Street. This follows US President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal with Moscow to import Russian diesel and his comment that it was "time for Ukraine to get a new president." Burnham avoided direct criticism of Trump but emphasized that Zelensky would not leave "empty-handed." The UK will accelerate the delivery of Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs) and commit to further sanctions against Russia. The UK will also urge allies to ban Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG).
