BORIS Johnson has made another surprise trip to Ukraine to see President Zelensky \- and was awarded the country's highest honour. On what will likely be his last visit to Kyiv as PM, he pledged Britain's ...unwavering... support even after he leaves No10 in a few weeks. Boris Johnson meeting President Zelensky today Mr Johnson announced a further £54million of defensive kit to help Ukrainian heroes battle back Putin's evil invaders. It includes 2,000 cutting edge drones and loitering munitions to flush out Russian troops from their towns and cities. After leading the Western response to the war, Mr Johnson was decorated with Ukraine's Order of Liberty, the highest accolade bestowed upon a foreign national. Speaking on his third trip to the city, he said: ...For the past six months, the United Kingdom has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine, supporting this sovereign country to defend itself from this barbaric and illegal invader. "Today's package of support will give the brave and resilient Ukrainian Armed Forces another boost in capability, allowing them to continue to push back Russian forces and fight for their freedom. "What happens in Ukraine matters to us all, which is why I am here today to deliver the message that the United Kingdom is with you and will be with you for the days and months ahead, and you can and will win." He made the dash as Ben Wallace revealed Vladimir Putin's invaders were advancing just METRES each week as heroic Ukrainian troops grind them into a stalemate. The Defence Secretary said the clapped-out Russian army has suffered far more losses in the past six months than it did during a decade fighting in Afghanistan.  Most read in The US Sun SHOPPERS' HORROR Fire at Walmart sends customers & staff running as flames engulf shelves UNSOCIAL DISTANCING Club bans STARING without 'consent' & hires 'officers' to police venue FIND THEM One dead and 6 hurt in horror shooting with manhunt underway for two suspects HORROR SLIP Hiker plummets to his death after last minute change of heart turned deadly TEARFUL PM Finland PM in tears as she admits 'I'm also human' after parties & topless pals BREAST FOOT FORWARD Kylie shows off major cleavage & almost spills out of tiny bikini Kremlin troops were now in such a ...very fragile state... that President Zelensky's warriors could soon retake ceded territory, he added.  Laying bare the high price of Mad Vlad's bungled invasion, Mr Wallace said: ...We do accept the sort of observations of Russian losses to be \- if you combine deaths, injuries, desertions \- over 80,000 of their armed forces. ...That's 80,000 in six months compared to 15,000 they lost in a decade in Afghanistan....
