UK Prime Minister Walks Down Streets of Kyiv with Volodymyr Zelensky

Boris Johnson showed courage and friendship as he strolled the streets with the man Russia is trying to kill (Fox News).  From the Wall Street Journal: Call it a photo-op if you like, but this one matters. Ukraine has won the battle of Kiev, which Mr. Johnson called “the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also visited Kiev and offered a fast-track to European Union membership. This solidarity sends an important political signal of European support, though it’s not as crucial as more and heavier weapons as a new campaign in eastern Ukraine unfolds. Britain is sending 120 armored vehicles and new antiship missiles to Ukraine. The latter could help deter a Russian attempt at a marine landing against Odessa on the Black Sea. The Biden Administration says it’s also sending more weapons, but our sources say the flow is still too slow. President Biden, please follow the Prime Minister and help Ukraine win this war, not merely survive it (WSJ). Biden has no plans to visit (Fox News).
