News Clarion synthesisAcross 3 sources

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Kyiv for Ukraine's Independence Day and announced that Britain will declassify information about long-range SCALP cruise missiles to help Ukraine build its own weapons. Burnham also plans to travel to the US in September to join European leaders lobbying Donald Trump to supply Ukraine with Patriot missiles, saying the supply problem is fixable. While the UK is providing missile blueprints, BBC News notes these are not what Zelenskyy needs most, and Burnham stressed that Britain does not use Patriot missiles itself but that other European nations need to step up.
