British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday will make an official visit to Ukraine, amid fears of a Russian invasion of the Eastern European nation.
Johnson will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss Russia’s military buildup along the country’s northern, eastern, and southern borders with Belarus and Moscow.
“It is the right of every Ukrainian to determine how they are governed. As a friend and a democratic partner, the UK will continue to uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty in the face of those who seek to destroy it,” Johnson said in a statement.
“We urge Russia to step back and engage in dialogue to find a diplomatic resolution and avoid further bloodshed,” the prime minister added.
