According to reports, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had reached war-torn Ukraine by a train. In a video that surfaced online, the British prime minister addressed the country’s ‘iron people’. Video footage released on Sunday showed Johnson expressing solidarity with employees of Ukraine’s state railway company.
“I gather you’re called ‘iron people,’ iron men and women because that’s the trade, the industry you work in. But I think it also reflects the spirit you’re showing. And also reflects the spirit of Ukraine. Standing for the horrific aggression we are seeing,” Johnson said.
Johnson on Friday offered his condolences to the victims of the horrific strike at a train station in Kramatorsk that killed at least 52 people.
Johnson traveled to Ukraine on Saturday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, becoming the latest of several European rulers to meet with the Ukrainian leader in Kyiv.
