Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he was “very happy” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had won a confidence vote on Monday, as he is “a true friend of Ukraine”, APA reports citing Financial Times.

“I am glad that we have not lost a very important ally,” Zelenskyy told the Financial Times in a broadcast interview. “This is great news.”

“I cannot comment on the internal situation. I do not know all the details. So I beg pardon to Mister Johnson about this. I think that he is much better informed about the details than I am.”

But “Boris is very concrete in supporting Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said.

Johnson met with Zelensky in Kyiv in April.
