"Later today I will make it very clear to President Zelenskyy that, as you know, nothing has changed. I will support him 100%, just as Keir Starmer did," Burnham stated.
The new Prime Minister of Great Britain informed journalists that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump would be his "first interlocutors" today.
Burnham noted that over the past few years, as Mayor of Greater Manchester, he had cooperated with Ukrainian mayors.
"I will bring all that experience to bear in my new role, and President Zelenskyy will have no doubt that Britain's support is unwavering, it is resolute, it will always be there for him, and I personally will always be there for him too," he added.
