Zelenskyy congratulates Truss, praises Johnson

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his daily address on Monday that he hopes to continue cooperating with Boris Johnson while congratulating incoming Prime Minister Liz Truss.

He said that Truss "has always been on the bright side of European politics, and I believe that together we will be able to do much more for the protection of our people and failure of all destructive Russian efforts."

"It is usually said that there is no friendship in politics, but Boris is the case when you understand each other with half a word, when friendship exists when it is strong and strengthens our two states. Boris was with us from the first minutes of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine and Europe. His first and most important question was always: 'How else can I help?' he said.

Zelenskyy also expressed hope the International Atomic Energy Agency commission's conclusions on the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant will be objective, as he accused Russia of targeting the plant again.
