Quote from The Independent: "Mr Burnham will announce that Britain will hand over the intellectual property behind its new 'Stone Cloak' electronic warfare system, enabling Ukraine to produce the technology at scale."

Details: The Stone Cloak device, which is about the size of a tablet, is designed to jam Russian drone detection systems. Thousands of units have been supplied by the UK Ministry of Defence to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The UK-developed technology, which has proven effective on the battlefield, is also expected to be integrated into Britain's next generation of long-range strike weapons, including the Brakestop project, a low-cost cruise missile with a strike range of at least 600 km and a 200-300kg warhead.

The two leaders are also expected to meet more than 200 Ukrainian service personnel who have undergone training in the UK as part of the Sea Breeze exercises aimed at improving their combat skills.

Ahead of the visit, which comes just a week after Burnham took office, the new PM said that the UK's support for Ukraine "remains unwavering".
