Summary
Andy Burnham will use Volodymyr Zelensky’s Monday visit to announce that Britain is sharing the intellectual property behind its Stone Cloak electronic-warfare system so Ukraine can produce it at scale.
Thousands of Stone Cloak jammers — tablet-sized devices that help drones evade detection — have already been supplied to Ukrainian forces, and Downing Street said the technology will also be built into Britain’s next generation of long-range weapons.
At a naval base, Burnham and Zelensky will also meet more than 200 Ukrainian personnel who have spent the past three weeks in the UK for Exercise Sea Breeze, focused on Black Sea warfighting and counter-mine operations.
Zelensky will be Burnham’s first international visitor since he took office a week ago, underscoring London’s effort to signal continuity after Britain has already committed £25 billion in support since Russia’s invasion.
