Zelenskyy thanks UK's Johnson for his support

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday expressed his gratitude to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he announced his resignation.

Zelenskyy said he spoke to Johnson on the phone "and thanked him for the support we received from the first day of the conflict. He added that "whatever is happening in London's rooms of power, Great Britain's support for Ukraine should not change."

Johnson announced his resignation after droves of top government officials quit over the latest scandal to engulf him, marking an end to three tumultuous years in which he tried to bluster his way through one ethical lapse after another.
