If everyone were as brave as the UK and Ukraine then Russia’s war would already be over, President Zelensky declared last night.

Zelensky praised Britain and Boris Johnson specifically for helping to ‘defend European freedom’ as he live-streamed his nightly address to both the Ukrainian people and a charity dinner in London.

If everyone in the world… were steadfast and courageous leaders like Ukraine, like Britain, I am sure we would have already ended this war and restored peace throughout our liberated territory, for all our people,’ he said.

It comes after Boris Johnson twice visited Kyiv – including once since the Russian invasion – to pledge support for Zelensky’s government, and made an historic video address to the country’s parliament earlier this week.

The British Prime Minister also addressed Kyiv’s parliament on Tuesday, during which he announced a new £300million package of military support to the country – to a succession of standing ovations.

‘Unbreakable people of the bravest country!’ the president said speaking through a translator to Britain’s Chatham House think tank, before going on to describe the dire situation in his country under Russian invasion.

‘Russian troops today, as every day during this war, have continued to bomb our cities and our people,’ Zelensky said.

‘For example, my traditional morning meeting with the military was the leadership of the army, with government officials and diplomats was accompanied by the sound of an air raid sirens. This is our reality.

‘Missile strikes every day. The day before yesterday, on the day when you, Boris, addressed parliament, addressed our parliament, the Russian army launched 15 missile strikes at Ukraine.

The embattled leader said that the Russian strikes during Mr Johnson’s speech were a sign that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was not happy with the relationship between Ukraine and the UK.

‘This can be called a certain “Russian compliment” to your brilliant speech and our fruitful interstate cooperation,’ Zelensky said.
