Boris Johnson took time out from refusing to answer any questions about all those Downing Street parties to fly to Ukraine amid growing tensions with Russia.
Or, as ITV’s James Mates memorably put it: ‘He had to travel a long way for it but in the middle of a difficult week boris johnson found somewhere that he’s both popular and very welcome.’
We mention this because there was one particular image from the trip – a Johnson briefing with Ukraine’s high command – that caught people’s imagination.
