Boris Johnson tours Kyiv – WSJ

Boris Johnson may have screwed up Britain’s energy policy, but the Prime Minister has been staunchly supportive of Ukraine against Russia. His latest attempt was a personal trip to Kyiv to visit President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over the weekend, including a one-on-one meeting and a stroll through the streets.

Call it a photo op if you like, but this one is important. Ukraine won the Battle of Kyiv, which Mr Johnson called “the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century”. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, also visited Kyiv and offered accelerated accession to the European Union.
