Britain will use all of its diplomatic and economic powers to prevent any Russian aggression towards Ukraine, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a call on Friday.

Johnson reiterated the message he had relayed to Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week about Britain's support for Ukraine's territorial integrity, Downing Street said.
