"Good Friends" Johnson resigned, would Britain's assistance to UK?The Ukraine feels very anxious

According to reports, after Johnson announced his resignation, President Ukraine said on a social platform saying: "(My) friend Boris Johnson, all Ukrainians are sad and sad about resigning (you). The decisive and firm help given. Special thank you for your leadership role on the international stage to defend Ukrainian interests. "

It is reported that since the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, although Western countries can be called the "ally" of Ukraine, the Britain under the leadership of Johnson is undoubtedly "the most special": Johnson visited Kyiv twice. One of the first leaders who visited Kyiv. He also "actively" increased his pressure on Russia and provided economic and military assistance to Ukraine.

According to reports, the total amount of military and economic aid funds for Ukraine this year has so far reached £ 3.8 billion ($ 4.6 billion). According to the news released by the British Department of Defense on the 9th, as many as 10,000 Ukrainian military personnel will receive months of military training in the UK, and the first batch of Ukraine personnel who have received the training have arrived in the UK.

Therefore, Johnson became the "darling" in the Ukraine. In order to express his praise and gratitude to Johnson, the Bakery of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, launched a pastry with Johnson's appearance characteristics, Ukraine streets, and even proposed to name his name.

Bellzina, a researcher at the Marshall Foundation in Germany, believes that in addition to the military support provided by the UK, Johnson's personality is also one of the reasons why the Ukraine people "worship" him. "Compared to Germany's low -key, Johnson's support for Ukraine seems more direct and loud." In Bellzina, Johnson is more like a "dare to follow up with French President Macron and German Chancellor, Tonalz. Russia's Clear Supporters ".

According to reports, on July 7, Johnson and Ukrainian President Zelei called on the phone. Johnson said to Zellennki at the end of the call, "You are a hero, everyone loves you." However, British public opinion survey expert Peter Keroner pointed out that Johnson's "help" for Ukraine may only be due to its political needs.

Kylener pointed out that Johnson's trials to move their sights on international affairs when they were in a crisis in China. Because of the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, Johnson's "party scandal entangled", and the rise in British energy prices and intensified inflation since then made Johnson have to shift his sight to foreign countries. The last one with tough attitudes to cover up the weak leaders internally. "In the short term, the aid of Ukraine will continue, and the long -term strategy may change it?

According to reports, in 2014, Britain has begun assistance to Ukraine. In 2016, the two countries signed a 15 -year national defense cooperation agreement, focusing on trainers and intelligence sharing. However, because of worrying about "anger" Russia, Britain was still unwilling to provide weapons directly to Ukraine.

In January of this year, Britain provided anti -tank weapon systems to the Ukraine Armed Forces. After the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine, a large number of weapons and ammunition flowed into Ukraine from the UK. The report pointed out that this kind of "help" is unlikely to end immediately as Johnson's departure, but the new Prime Minister takes office and long -term strategy may change.

According to a reference news, Johnson said in response to the outside world's questioning of his leadership capabilities that if the Ukrainian issue becomes too difficult or the cost is too high, he has to give up Ukraine, and he will consider resigning. Kylener believes that Johnson advocates Ukraine's "opposition (with Russia) for any compromise", but if there is a possibility of solving the problem through negotiations, the new British Prime Minister may not be as decisive as Johnson, trying to stop Zellennki against the pair Russia compromises, so that the conflict continues.

On the other hand, political commentator Qu Fanfu wrote in "China News Weekly" that Johnson's departure does not mean that the British government's attitude towards Russia will be obvious. Qu Fanfu believes that there is almost no one who is willing to alleviate Russian relations in the middle of the new prime minister who has a high voice. Under the British public opinion, any candidate who has an ambiguous attitude towards Russia should not be likely to win in this election.
