Burnham says he wants to ‘repair bridges’ between Ukraine and US

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he will try to "repair bridges" between Ukraine and the United States, ahead of a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky at Downing Street.

Asked about Trump's move during Prime Minister's Questions, Burnham resisted criticising the US president, saying he wanted to "be careful in terms of laying the ground to bring people back together".

In response, Burnham did not echo Sir Ed's condemnation of Trump, saying: "What I have to do in my role is try and repair bridges so that the support comes back and therefore I should at this moment in time be careful in terms of laying the ground to bring people back together.
