Johnson hopes to see Zelenskyy again before leaving office - reports

Outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is hoping to make another visit to Ukraine before leaving office and meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reports The Telegraph quoting an allied source.

“He really feels the weight of the responsibility of having been [Zelenskyy’s] largest funder. He can’t just walk away and not make sure the world has his back,” the source said, adding that Johnson “hopes to see him again before he leaves office” on September 6.

Johnson made two official visits to Kyiv: in June and April. The Telegraph said on Saturday that the outgoing prime minister was due to speak with Zelensky on the phone this week.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and ex-Chancellor Rishi Sunak, the two remaining candidates for Britain’s top job, face six weeks of campaigning and jostling before the full Tory membership votes on their new leader. The final result is expected in early September.

Former European Commission official Francis Cole told Sputnik earlier this month that the UK would continue Boris Johnson’s hawkish foreign policy towards Russia under Liz Truss if she were elected prime minister.
