President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. File photoMOSCOW, Aug 24During a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day, Volodymyr Zelensky avoided a direct answer to the question of how truly independent Ukraine is.During the press conference, a correspondent asked Zelensky about how independent Ukraine is, in his opinion, in light of the fact that the Russian Federation retains control over a large part of its territory, and Kyiv is seriously dependent on the supply of Western weapons. «As far as it is possible today, we are so independent «, Zelensky replied, adding that Ukraine has never been as strong and united as it is now. British Prime Minister Johnson, who resigned, arrived in Kyiv on Ukraine's independence day. This is Johnson's third visit to Kyiv since the start of the Russian special operation.
