- Zelenskyy discussed drone projects and missile defense for Kyiv with Britain's new prime minister Burnham, according to AP News.
- Zelenskyy was the first foreign leader to visit Burnham since he took office, per the Washington Post, while The Guardian framed the meeting as a 'symbolic start' for a PM who 'wants to look inward.'
Why it matters: Zelenskyy being the first foreign visitor to a new UK prime minister keeps Ukraine at the top of London's diplomatic agenda, with drone cooperation and missile defense named as the specific deliverables on the table.
