The UK’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the UK will continue its support for Ukraine, no matter who the next prime minister is.

It comes as a Ukrainian lawmaker said people are “very much concerned” about whether or not the UK’s next leader will offer the same level of vocal support following the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
