Earlier today we told you about British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visiting Kyiv, Ukraine where he met with President Zelenskyy:
A No. 10 spokesperson later confirmed the trip. “The Prime Minister has travelled to Ukraine to meet President Zelenskyy in person, in a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people,” the spokesperson said.
Both will discuss the U.K.’s support to Ukraine, with Johnson engaging in “a new package of financial and military aid,” according to the spokesperson, who did not provide details on the new package.
Surprisingly, the two leaders also took a walk around an area of Kyiv:

The Ukrainians have the courage of a lion.
President @ZelenskyyUa has given the roar of that lion.
The UK stands unwaveringly with the people of Ukraine.

That’s something else.
An extraordinary video. Don't miss when they are stopped and greeted by a Kiev resident, in the middle of the clip. https://t.co/DVmh22vLHl
