Britain's support will continue. That is Prime Minister Andy Burnham's response in footage featured in David Shuster's report on Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia and Moscow's threats toward the UK.

"We are not fair-weather friends. We will be there in Ukraine's hour of need, and that won't change," Burnham says.

The Democracy Watch clips channel's upload of Shuster's Rebel HQ segment drew about 107,000 views in six hours, already far beyond its usual full-day audience for a regular video. It combines reports from ABC News, CBS News and Bloomberg with Shuster's commentary.

Shuster describes attacks reaching Moscow and other Russian regions, followed by Russian warnings that Britain would face consequences over the use of British-made drones. News footage shows smoke rising over targets, while the report also covers airport disruptions and retaliatory strikes on Kharkiv.

The segment then shifts from the diplomatic warning to the weapons themselves. Shuster says most Ukrainian drones are manufactured domestically. A CBS report features Firepoint CEO Valeriia Terekh describing Ukraine's ability to answer a larger adversary through an asymmetrical approach, followed by discussion of the company's ballistic-missile development.

A separate Bloomberg interview brings in economist Sergei Guriev, who argues that apparent political stability can conceal brittle leadership. Shuster also reports on US military interest in learning from Ukraine's drone-warfare tactics.
