Boris Johnson has said he will still be prime minister by Diwali after being asked questions over the Partygate scandal while on his trip to India. Britain is to reopen its Kyiv embassy, Johnson announced, more than two months after moving it out of the Ukrainian capital. Since the embassy’s closure in February, the UK has retained a diplomatic presence in Ukraine but has not been providing in-person consular assistance. The Foreign Office said at that time that the embassy was relocating temporarily and staff were operating from an office in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. However, the embassy is expected to reopen early next month, after Russian forces were pushed back or withdrew from the region around Kyiv in the face of Ukrainian resistance
