UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have spoken this Friday afternoon following the UN-brokered deal to get grain out of silos in the Black Sea. Downing Street said Johnson welcomed the deal, and stressed the need for it to be implemented "in full". 

The spokeswoman also said the prime minister "stressed the UK's ongoing determination to support the Ukrainian people" and said that "resolve will not waver, no matter who becomes the next UK prime minister". 

She added that Zelensky thanked Johnson for his staunch support for Ukraine, as well as military support being provided by the UK which is making "a real difference" in the conflict. 

It comes after Johnson made a second trip to Kyiv last month where he outlined the UK's training programme for Ukrainian troops.
