Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Boris Johnson is “helping more” than other leaders in the resistance against Russia thanks to pressure from the British people.

In an interview in Kyiv where he is resisting Vladimir Putin’s invasion, Mr Zelenskyy said France was being more hesitant in sending weapons “because they are afraid of Russia”.
