British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Meets with Zelensky in Kyiv
----------------------------------------------------------------

On Saturday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a surprise trip
to Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson: "And together with our partners, we are
going to ratchet up the economic pressure, and we will continue to
intensify, week by week, the sanctions on Russia, not just freezing
assets in banks and sanctioning oligarchs but moving away from use of
Russian hydrocarbons. And we will give you the support that you need,
the economic support but also, of course, the defensive military
support, in which I am proud to say that the U.K. helped to lead the
way."
