  Reuters, ABC and other foreign media said that US President Biden issued a statement on the 7th on the relationship between the United States and the United States, but did not mention Johnson's name or his resignation.

In his statement, Biden stressed that the special relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. "remains strong and enduring" and looked forward to continued close cooperation with the U.K. government.

  Ukraine's presidential palace said in a statement on the 7th that Ukrainian President Zelensky called Johnson, who announced his resignation, to thank him for his support in Ukraine's difficult time.

Zelensky said, "We are all saddened by this news. Not only me, but the whole of Ukraine sympathizes with you." Johnson promised to continue to work with partners to solve the problem of blocked food exports in the next few weeks.

  Russian presidential spokesman Peskov said that Johnson "really doesn't like us, and we don't like him either," and that Russia doesn't care about Johnson's departure or stay.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said that Johnson's resignation is a sign of the decline of the West, with political, ideological and economic crises tearing the West apart.

"The moral of the story is not to try to destroy Russia," Zakharova added.

  The EU hopes that Johnson's resignation will be an opportunity to reopen talks on Northern Ireland, but the EU is cautious before appointing a new prime minister, Agence France-Presse said.

On July 7, local time, British Prime Minister Johnson issued a resignation statement, saying that he would stay in office until "the new leader is in place".

  Michel Barnier, the EU's former chief negotiator, said Johnson's departure "opened a new page in relations with the UK" and hoped the page would be "more constructive and more respectful of the commitments made, especially with regard to" Northern Ireland Protocol'".

  Irish Prime Minister Michelle Martin also saw Johnson's resignation as an important opportunity to recalibrate relations with Britain, saying "we now have an opportunity to return to a true spirit of partnership and mutual respect".

  The European Commission declined to comment on Johnson's resignation.

  British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a speech in front of No. 10 Downing Street in London on July 7 that he resigned as the leader and prime minister of the ruling Conservative Party, but would remain in office until a new leader is elected.

In his speech, Johnson also listed a series of achievements during his tenure in office, saying he was "incredibly proud".
