almost 2 years in news

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on June 17, marking his second visit to Kyiv since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. The footage, released via the Prime Minister’s official Facebook page on June 18, shows him and Zelensky walking through Kyiv and paying respects to those who died since the war began. “It was incredibly moving to walk the streets of Kyiv with you once more, to pay tribute to your fallen soldiers whose sacrifice, unconquerable courage and bravery we will never forget,” Johnson said on Facebook. Johnson’s last visit to Ukraine was in April, when he was the first G7 leader to visit Ukraine as an expression of wartime solidarity. His second surprise visit came a day after leaders of France, Italy, Germany, and Romania also traveled to Kyiv to meet with Zelensky. Credit: Boris Johnson via Storyful
