And if Truss wins, which looks likely, she will follow his path on Ukraine.

The video is a goof but I remember he was the first leader to visit Ukraine and I remember him walking the streets of Kyiv with Zelenskyy when it was being shelled regularly. And he brought weapons with him. He led and the rest of Europe followed (except Germany, which hardly seems to be a part of Europe now).
Don't really know much about British politics anymore. Brexit seems like a disaster. But on the great moral issue of our age he was and is a towering figure.

That farewell (as PM) visit is a great idea.

Johnson got caught up in his own circus back home but no leader in the West has come close to outdoing him on supporting Ukraine. He’ll always have a spot in my heart for that.

but he has been a firm supporter of Ukraine at a time when they really need it and he recognizes the danger that Putin's Russia poses.
