Former UK Prime Minister Boris
Johnson has released a documentary about the Russo–Ukrainian war, for which
he made an unannounced trip to the frontlines, The Telegraph wrote
on July 24.
The 90-minute film, "Boris Johnson: Into Ukraine’s Kill Zone," aired on Channel 5 in the UK. In the film, Johnson urges Western allies to step up military support for Ukraine, including by supplying more modern weapons.
Johnson calls Russia’s invasion an act of terrorism and describes the war as a struggle between good and evil. The film opens with footage of a Russian drone attack on a civilian train that killed six people, and it shows Ukrainian troops' resilience, including scenes of soldiers manufacturing munitions because of equipment shortages.
The Telegraph reported that Johnson’s trip to the front was
kept strictly secret. He traveled incognito and at times hid his face with a
balaclava. Reporters said he was woken on his first night at the front by a
powerful explosion when a Russian drone struck a nearby residential building.
The Telegraph said Johnson’s participation could help the
documentary attract a wider international audience, including viewers who do
not normally watch war documentaries, and serve as a reminder of Ukraine’s
fight against Russian aggression.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
