British newspaper “Daily Mail” revealed that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled to Kyiv to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky on an unannounced visit..
A photo shared by Ukraine’s embassy in the UK on Twitter showed the two leaders seated across a table in the country’s capital, with their respective flags in the room..
In the caption of the photo, the embassy simply wrote: “Surprise” with a winking emoji. Downing Street and Kiev officials have not yet commented on the contents of the updates.
Last month, it was reported that the prime minister had asked officials to study the feasibility and value of a trip to the Ukrainian capital for talks with his Ukrainian counterpart..
At the time, security officials were said to have “concerned” Johnson would travel to a war zone. But a source in Whitehall – the government – said Johnson “wants to go” if it can be done.
Since then, Moscow has withdrawn its forces from Kyiv and the surrounding area in an attempt to refocus its military campaign in the eastern Donbass region.
Boris Johnson, British Prime Minister, confirmed that the United Kingdom will send more defensive weapons to Ukraine, to help it confront Russia, and said via Twitter: “The United Kingdom will send more defensive weapons to Ukraine and will work with G7 partners to target every pillar of the Russian economy.” To ensure Putin fails“.
“Britain and Germany were horrified by Putin’s invasion and agreed that our two countries should go even further to help Ukraine,” Boris Johnson tweeted.
