Ukraine and the UK agree about Russia’s barbaric war — but not about the figure of Boris Johnson. He is controversial at home but idolised in Ukraine. In a way, Johnson is to Ukraine what Volodymyr Zelensky is to the UK.
We in Ukraine are as vague about the intricacies of the domestic scene in the UK as most outsiders. The story of Brexit is for us (a) ancient history and (b) rather inexplicable to begin with. Forgive us, but our heart doesn’t skip a beat when we hear the word “Brexit”.
