While Russia rejoices at the resignation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Ukraine is showing disappointment. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed regret over Johnson’s resignation in a statement. Zelensky’s advisor Mykhailo Podoliak thanked Johnson for his help in the fight against Russia. Some Ukrainians would like to have Johnson as their own prime minister.
In a street survey by the AFP news agency, many Ukrainians gave Johnson plenty of roses. ‘Let’s invite him. He should be our prime minister,” said one interviewee with a smile. The Briton is even “more popular with the Ukrainian people than our prime minister”. “That is very sad. Personally, I have a lot of sympathy for him. He has helped Ukraine a lot. It is a pity that he resigned,” said another saddened man.
One mother was concerned that one was now being “left behind”. However, according to a government spokeswoman, outgoing British Prime Minister Selenskyj assured London of unbroken support in a phone call. Britain will provide significant “defensive aid” for as long as necessary. In his resignation speech, Johnson also emphasized that the Ukrainian government can continue to rely on Britain in the future.
