Boris Johnson contributed to untold damage to the UK with covid and brexit.
But his actions with Ukraine were unimpeachable. As a populist leader throwing immediate public support (I think he was the first foreign leader to go to Kyiv, certainly one of the first) it kneecapped the Useful Idiots like Farage.
- hermitcrab 1y agoAgreed. It is the only worthwhile thing Johnson has done in his miserable life.
- roryirvine 1y agoIt was actually Ursula von der Leyen who was first, arriving in Kyiv the day before Johnson's visit (neither of them were aware of the other's travel plans, for security reasons). It is fair to say that Boris did end up forming a particularly strong bond with Zelenskyy, though if you wanted to be cynical you might perhaps point out that two of his three subsequent visits to Kyiv coincided with some of the trickiest moments in the Partygate scandal, and allowed him to get out of events that would likely have proven embarrassing for him.
