Mr Johnson has pledged the UK’s unwavering support to Ukraine on a visit to Kyiv. On Saturday, April 9, Mr Johnson met with President Zelenskyy to discuss the economic and military assistance that the UK can offer to Ukraine.

According to the UK government Mr Johnson: “reiterated that the UK will do everything in its power to support Ukraine’s brave fight against Russia’s brutal and unprovoked invasion and ensure its long term security and prosperity.

“The Prime Minister set out new military assistance of 120 armoured vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems, to support Ukraine in this crucial phase while Russia’s illegal assault continues. This is in addition to the £100 million worth of high-grade military equipment announced yesterday, including more Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles, another 800 anti-tank missiles, and high-tech loitering munitions for precision strikes.”
