> UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham will visit Kyiv on Ukraine’s 35th Independence Day, co-chair a meeting of Ukraine’s main backers and meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It will be Burnham’s first trip abroad as prime minister, as Kyiv urges Western allies to provide more air defense amid intensifying Russian airstrikes.
