Boris Johnson says high energy bills are something UK households must endure as part of the effort to resist Vladimir Putin, as he returned to Ukraine to mark its independence day.

The prime minister was pictured in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and received an award from the Ukrainian leader.

The Prime Minister said "if we're paying in our energy bills for the evils of Vladimir Putin, the people of Ukraine are paying in their blood".

Making his last trip to Ukraine before leaving office, Mr Johnson set out a further £54 million of military aid, including drones to target Russian forces.

"What happens in Ukraine matters to us all," Mr Johnson said on Twitter.

"That is why I am in Kyiv today. That is why the UK will continue to stand with our Ukrainian friends.

"I believe Ukraine can and will win this war."

In his final visit to the country before leaving Downing Street, the prime minister also received Ukraine's highest award which can be bestowed on foreign nationals, The Order of Liberty, for the UK's staunch support of Ukraine's freedom.

Here in the U.S. we had uber high rising energy costs long before Russia attacked Ukraine.

Projected 18.6% inflation is also the price of resisting Putin, BorisIdiot?

Yeah, okie dokie.

The UK is in recession.
France is in recession.
Germany is in recession.
Italy arguably in recession.
US arguably in recession.
The entire West is arguably in recession with inflation steadily going up.
The Euro is sinking faster than the Titanic.

All are the price of resisting Putin.

I know who is laughing their ass off and will ultimately get the last laugh......

No, they are the result of idiotic energy policy resulting from a child-like belief in climate change and believing that windmills and solar cells can power an industrial nation.

“Boris Johnson says high energy bills are something UK households must endure as part of the effort to resist Vladimir Putin”

A-hole. And what does HE have to endure?

Nice of the elites to be so dismissive of the effects of their insane policies. Anyway, the problem is rooted in the green scam.

You’d think the English would be saying, “Okay, so why are we doing that in the first place? Nobody ever asked us.”
