The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson proposed the launch of a large training program for the Ukrainian armed forces – with the ability to train up to 10,000 soldiers every 120 days – during a meeting today with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as announced by Downing Street.

Johnson, who traveled to Kyiv in complete secrecy, said the purpose of today’s visit was to send “a simple and clear message to the Ukrainian people: the United Kingdom is on your side and we will be by your side until your final victory.” “.

The two leaders discussed the supply of weapons systems and further financial support to Ukraine, as well as the imposition of additional sanctions on Russia, as announced by the Ukrainian presidency.

The President of Ukraine welcomed the Prime Minister of Britain, calling Boris Johnson a “great friend”. “Many days of this war have shown that Britain’s support for Ukraine is unwavering and decisive. I am glad to see our great friend Boris Johnson back in Kyiv,” Zelensky said.

This is the second time that Boris Johnson has visited Kyiv since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
