President Volodymyr Zelensky used his daily address on Monday morning (March 21) to thank other nations for their contribution towards Ukraine's defence.
Speaking on day 25 of the invasion of his country, he said: "We are working to make the whole world our friends. I personally presented state awards to Ukrainian intelligence officers. Please understand - I can't say their names publicly. But believe me, the contribution of these people to our defence is so significant that the orders and the title of Hero of Ukraine for them is the minimum we can give. Just to express gratitude. To them and to all our heroes. Thanks to which we are holding on. And we’re doing it pretty well."
Mr Zelensky went on to praise Boris Johnson after revealing he had spoken to him earlier in the day. He said: "A true friend of Ukraine who does not hesitate and does not seek excuses. We agreed on concrete support for our country at next week's G7 and Nato summits."
