Prime Minister Andy Burnham is in Kyiv on Monday for Ukraine's 35th independence day, his first foreign trip as PM. The UK will help Ukraine build its own long-range missiles by declassifying information on UK-made components. The missile assistance is expected to increase tensions with Moscow, which has already accused Britain of escalating the conflict.
