President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking in address to the parliament, said the UK, together with Ukraine, is approaching an era where peace reigns.
The head of state said on October 8, 2020 that Ukraine and Great Britain became strategic partners, and in ten weeks of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the countries went from partners to friends and brothers.
"February 24, 2022 proved that our partnership is not on paper. Our partnership is on the battlefield. The battle for common ideals and a common future... These almost ten weeks have proved that it is not scary when an evil enemy is against you, if you have a good friend next to you such as Great Britain. And Boris Johnson. And these words are not flattery, not courtesy, this is reality," Zelensky said.
According to him, Ukraine and Great Britain are together every day for the sake of one moment, the first second of victory and the advent of an era of peace.
"We are together. Every day. We are in touch. Every day. If we do not have a conversation today, it means: we are busy with what we agreed on during the conversation yesterday. And so for about ten weeks for the sake of one moment. The first second of victory. And for the sake of one era. An era where peace reigns. In Ukraine, and therefore in Europe. I thank Great Britain, which, together with us, brings this moment and era closer. Which is ready to become the guarantor of our security," the president said.

Do you suppose Zelensky would or could make such a statement to Congress about Biden??? After all, Biden has opened the US Treasury for Ukraine.
Stupid hippies!
Brimstone Precision-Guided Missiles Are Headed To Ukraine Within Weeks
What we do know is that a British government official, James Heappey, the U.K.’s armed forces minister, has confirmed that “hundreds” of Brimstone missiles will be sent to Ukraine, where the first examples should arrive in the “next few weeks.”
The maximum range of the surface-launched Brimstone versions is unclear, but the air-launched model can reportedly hit targets at between 4.3 and 15.5 miles. Surface launch, without the benefit of an aircraft’s speed and altitude, would likely imply a range at the lower end of this scale
This, is probably how it should be. Regional would be proper indeed.
So you are comparing the Russians to the evil aliens?
Peace will not come because Boris Johnson and Zelensky proclaim it. Especially since it seems they are not interested in a diplomatic solution with the Ukrainian breakaway Republics.
Peace will come when the dictator Putin withdraws his troops
Not true. There was an 8 year civil war before Putin entered the fray. 3 Separatist Republics seeking freedom are not going to stop seeking freedom.
Not true. This “civil war” you vlsom was started by Ryssian forces in both Crimand the Donbas
So 50+% of Ukraine that voted for Yanukovich, including my family members in Dneiperpetrovsk, were happy when armed assailants drove their candidate unconstitutionally out of office? Simply not true! The entire east Ukraine and South Ukraine have separated since 2014 because they were disenfranchised. Ukraine has been bombing Ukrainians! You are quite simply uninformed. Russian forces were in Crimea to protect Stevastopol, but Russian forces were not (except as advisors to the separatists) fighting in Donetsk and Luhansk until now.
Actually it was not “50%+ of Ukraine that voted for Yanukovych” — it was 48.95% — so your first statement was false.
Were they “happy”? Some were - most weren’t. Many of those who voted for him believed that he, Yanukowych would continue to move towards the west - i.e. lower corruption and more opportunities for the common people. Instead, Yanukowych was a Putin stooge and sneakily moved towards Putin.
That caused a protest. Yanukowych called in the militia who hit the peaceful protestors.
Even the monks in the monastery in Kyiv rebuked the government for this.
Net-net Yanukowych fled while he was being impeached.
This was not a coup
