A new release by Ukrainian music band MyusliUA heaps praise and adoration on Johnson for his well-publicized support of Ukraine in its struggle against the Russian invasion.

“This (music) track pays our tribute to the world’s sunniest politician and the closest friend of Ukrainian people – Boris Johnson,” a video description of the song released on YouTube reads.

Indeed, the Ukrainian public are so fond of Johnson that they commonly Ukrainianize his family name to Johnsonyuk.

The lyrics of the song don’t hold back on praise for the UK leader.
