On Ukraine's Independence day, outgoing UK Prime minister Boris Johnson met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on wednesday as the Ukraine war completes six months into war.

Announcing the visit on Twitter, 10 Downing Street shared an image of Johnson speaking to Zelensky outside the Mariinsky Palace in Kyiv and added Johnson's message was: "Ukraine can and will win this war."

Johnson has been one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine as it tries to defend itself against Russia's unprovoked assault and the trip on Wednesday was his third visit to the Ukrainian capital since the war started in late February.
