British Prime Minister Andy Burnham spoke at an Independence Day event in Kiev on Aug. 24, his first foreign visit since becoming taking office, standing next to Zelensky and oozing praise for Ukraine’s suicidal war on Russia, admitting at one point that he considers this a “Russian war against us.” He said: “This is the moment to keep up the pressure on Russia, to squeeze their ability to fund this illegal war.” He added that “Despite the outrageous threats to my country, we will keep up our support for Ukraine’s defense. We will honor any pledge we have made in full…. I know you need more help to protect your skies and your civilians. Besides military aid, we must stop Russia from launching their missiles in the first place, to destroy missiles before they are launched.”
In addition to the pledge for military support, including handing Zelensky blueprints for long range missile components, Andy found time to walk around town, stopping to play a British band’s rock song with a soldier, noting profoundly that such “music” would uplift the soldiers on the front.
He also held a meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing” with leaders from Germany and France, and others, there to cheer on the war “to the last Ukrainian”—although that slogan is wearing thin now that the Brits and others are provoking a direct war with the Russians.
