World leaders back Ukraine's 'brave fight' as it marks independence

in ukraines •  2 years ago 

There are three main things Boris Johnson wants his legacy to be - getting Brexit done, the Covid vaccine rollout, and the UK's support of Ukraine.

I once asked a close ally of his whether they thought, when he resigned, he'd stir up trouble on the backbenches for the next prime minister.

They argued he only would if he felt his successor "went soft" on the UK's response to the Ukraine war.

Johnson also said in a BBC Radio 4 interview the only thing that would make him consider resigning would be if he were asked to give up support for Ukraine.

Clearly, that turned out not to be the case.

It's unlikely anyone would have pushed him to give up his support - given it was one of the few things to actually unite the Conservative Party towards the end of his tenure.

Both candidates to be the next prime minister have pledged to continue support, but Johnson did have a close relationship with President Zelensky that may be harder to emulate.

When the Ukraine war was in its early weeks, and there were scenes of terror on our screens every evening, those who witnessed calls between them remarked on the fact they were still exchanging jokes and references to Shakespeare plays they enjoyed.

As Boris Johnson visits Kyiv, Downing Street confirms the UK will give a further £54m in military aid to Ukraine.

Some 200 drones will be sent to Ukraine to improve long range surveillance and defensive targeting ability, No 10 says.

The package also includes 850 micro-drones, which are launched by hand and are specifically designed for use in towns and villages to detect approaching enemy forces.

Downing Street says military personnel can be trained to fly the helicopter drones, which are smaller than a mobile phone and can feed back live images, in under 20 minutes.

The UK will continue training Ukrainian military personnel and will be teaching them how to use minehunting vehicles to detect explosives off-shore in the coming weeks.

Appearing next to his Ukrainian counterpart, Mr Johnson claimed unity was “growing” among Western countries in relation to continued military support, despite reports European support could “dry up” because of the cost-of-living crisis.

“While people are paying energy bills, people in Ukraine are paying with blood,” said Mr Johnson, who added that British households would “have to endure the cost-of-living crisis” in order to counter Russia’s “inevitable manipulation of energy prices”.

“The hardships are real, but we need to fix the underlying issue which is dependence on Russian gas,” he added.

When asked by the BBC just how independent his country was, President Zelensky said “Ukraine is as independent as possible", and stressed that the unity inside the country mustn’t be lost.

President Zelensky then unveiled a plaque for the British prime minister on his new “alley of bravery” outside the Ukrainian parliament.

With a heavy security presence, the pair then went for a walk through the centre of Kyiv.
