United Kingdom guarantees Ukraine of its support, says Zelenskyy

• Ukrainian leader said 'Britain's support for Ukraine will not change, no matter what happens in London's power circles, UK assured me of this'

President Zelenskyy said that the United Kingdom has reassured Ukraine that its support for the beleaguered country would continue regardless of who is in power. 

“Britain's role in protecting freedom is truly global. And although this is a reflection of the position of British society, the leadership and charisma of the state leader are always of special importance, Zelenskyy said his nighlty video address.  

“Especially at such a time - the time of Russia's full-scale anti-European war, which started its attack on Europe precisely from our state. So it is not surprising that Ukrainians feel personal gratitude to Boris.”

“But let's not forget that we are building relations between states. Great Britain's support for Ukraine should not change, no matter what happens in London's power circles, both Boris and all our friends in the United Kingdom assured me of this,” Ukrainian leader said. 

Earlier on Thursday US President Joe Biden said that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's departure will not jeopardize the international effort to help Ukraine.

“I look forward to continuing our close cooperation with the government of the UK… that includes maintaining a strong and united approach to supporting the people of Ukraine...,” Biden said.
