After Liz Truss’ resignation, the official Twitter account of Ukraine’s government issued a tweet that appeared to be sympathetic to the former leader, fueling rumors that Boris Johnson will try to reclaim his position as Prime Minister.
Mr Johnson is well-liked in Kyiv for his support for the country in its fight against Russia’s invading forces.
However, the meme based on the Netflix series Better Call Saul and posted by the @Ukraine account triggered a significant backlash, with some even pointing to the Uxbridge MP’s alleged links with Russian figures including Evgeny Lebedev – newspaper owner and son of ex-KGB agent Alexander.
Evgeny Lebedev was made a lifelong peer in the House of Lords during Mr Johnson’s tenure as PM.
The tweet was later deleted.
