“On this grim second anniversary of Putin’s invasion I am honoured to be here in Ukraine,” Johnson said in a post on X.

“With their indomitable courage I have no doubt that the Ukrainians will win and expel Putin’s forces – provided we give them the military, political and economic help that they need.”

It comes alongside reaffirmed support from the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Sunak said last night that Britain was prepared to do “whatever it takes” and has promised £250m towards producing artillery shells.

He said: “This is the moment to show that tyranny will never triumph and to say once again that we will stand with Ukraine today and tomorrow.

“We are prepared to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, until they prevail.”

Two years ago, Putin sent a lethal army of troops into Ukraine in an attack that shocked the world.

The Ukrainian army chief has said that “light” will triumph over “darkness”.

“I am convinced that unity is our victory. And it will definitely happen. Because light always conquers darkness!” Syrsky said on social media.

The Ukrainian army chief recalled how few believed that Ukraine could fend off a Russian advance in the first days of the war in 2022.

He said: “When thousands of columns of Russian invaders moved from all directions into Ukraine, when thousands of missiles and bombs fell on our land, no one in the world believed that we would survive.

“No one believed, but Ukraine did! It believed, accepted the battle and survived.”
