Boris Johnson gained immense popularity among Ukrainians during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine: according to the latest polls 89% of Ukrainians have a positive or rather positive attitude toward the UK\u2019s soon-to-resign prime minister, and it\u2019s no surprise. Johnson has been quite vocal about his support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, and frequently called or visited Ukraine\u2019s President Zelenskyi to proclaim the UK\u2019s solidarity with Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the resignation of Johnson, Ukrainians fear that the UK\u2019s support for Ukraine will decline. This has also been disseminated by Russian propaganda channels and pro-Russian sources in Ukraine, attempting to increase the doubts felt by Ukrainians. However, there is no ground for the weakening of the UK\u2019s cooperation with Ukraine to be a realistic perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking into account the British political system and the position of the ruling party, the change of the prime minister is not going to affect the course of the UK towards Ukraine. There is nothing to suggest that the possible candidates will change the country\u2019s policy regarding Ukraine. The UK as a country stays a loyal partner and supporter of Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
