Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is “quite sad” about what he describes as waning interest in the UK in supporting Ukraine.
Speaking to The Telegraph at the Ukrainian embassy in London on Saturday, he lamented that support for Ukraine in the UK is declining.
“The interest in Ukraine and the appetite is so low nowadays. I find it quite sad,” Johnson said.
When asked to evaluate how well current Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration has handled the Ukraine conflict, he responded: “There are a lot of domestic issues that are very difficult right now, and you can see why they’re distracted.”
Support among the British public for aid to Ukraine has fallen in recent years, polls suggest.
