Ukraine’s official Twitter account shared a meme seemingly calling for Johnson to return as U.K. prime minister, inspiring backlash from some.
Liz Truss resigned her premiership on Thursday after serving six tumultuous weeks in office, making her the shortest-serving prime minister in U.K. history. Johnson, who himself resigned only months ago amid multiple scandals, is considered one of the top contenders to become the country’s next prime minister.
Although all of the major candidates to replace Truss are likely to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, Johnson was considered a particularly strong ally during the first six months of the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised Johnson as a «great friend» when he was replaced by Truss in early September.
