The day before, the British Prime Minister paid an unannounced working visit to Ukraine and held talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Later, a representative of the British prime minister said that Johnson went to Kyiv to personally meet with the Ukrainian president as a sign of solidarity with the Ukrainian people. After the official meeting, Johnson walked around the center of Kyiv and even received an unexpected gift.

After meeting with the President of Ukraine, Boris Johnson went for a walk around Kiev with Volodymyr Zelensky. They walked along Bankovaya Street, visited the House with Chimeras, visited the memorial of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, went down to Maidan and walked along Khreshchatyk.

«Kyiv is still sparsely populated and with frequent air raid alerts. But just as beautiful and already without fighting in the suburbs. We visited the memorial to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred. Unfortunately, our heroes continue to die every day at the front in the fight against the Russian invaders, but with the help of our true friends, such as Great Britain, we are getting closer to victory every day. I thank Boris Johnson for visiting and supporting Ukraine. We will win, we have no other way!» — Zelensky wrote in social networks.

During the walk, Johnson and Zelensky were accompanied by several military men and the head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak.

«The fact that the Cockerel is one of the main symbols of victory , it became clear from the first photos», — the girl said, explaining that she met Johnson and Zelensky by chance while walking along Lutheranskaya Street.
