"Right now a visit of Boris Johnson in Kyiv started from one-on-one meeting with President Zelenskiy," Andriy Sybiha,
deputy head of Ukraine's president office, said on Facebook.
A Downing Street spokesperson said the PM was making the trip "in a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people".
"They will discuss the UK's long term support to Ukraine and the PM will set out a new package of financial and military aid," the spokesperson added.
