- Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Ukraine’s allies to “stay the course” as he made a surprise visit to Kyiv on Ukraine’s independence day on Wednesday.
- From the start of the Russian invasion in February, Johnson has positioned himself and the UK as one of President Zelenskyy’s closest allies.
- The effects of the conflict are now being felt in the UK where inflation has hit 13% and the Bank of England has forecast at least a year of recession, largely on the back of large increases in energy bills.
