Impressive From The Uk Again
Won't be forgotten by Ukrainians. I wonder how the PM got to Kyivso quickly given late last night he was briefing Cabinet and the shadow defence secretary on Yemen. He could easily have dipped out in the circumstances.
So credit where it's due to Mr Sunak. Impressive.

The long awaited statement last night that was expected from Sunak didn't come because his trip to Ukraine was already in progress. The reason that nothing was said about Sunak last night was to keep his visit undercover for obvious reasons. But I dare say Russian will responed sooner or later with a few missiles just to say hello.
It's odd that the BBC called it a "rare visit to Kyiv": he's been PM for about 15 months and has visited twice. Not bad going.
"Perhaps they'll name a street after him like the did with Boris."
There was a famous old pub in Kyiv called the Sunduk, which sadly burned down a few years back and was rebuilt. They could rename it the Sunak :-)
"Mr Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said: "I hope that our eternal enemies - the arrogant British - understand that deploying an official military contingent to Ukraine would be a declaration of war against our country."
