Johnson, answering the question how he would justify the phrase written in his book, that if he had been elected prime minister of Britain earlier in the election, he could have prevented “this despicable” full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, replied, that he would call for Ukraine to become a member of NATO.
“The problem with Ukraine is that our approach to this border country has been chronically ambiguous. What is it? Is Ukraine part of the West or part of the Russian sphere of influence? And I think the most important thing we need to convey to Putin is that Russia is no longer is an empire and everything is over,” said the Briton.
He noted that Great Britain was once also an empire, but today there is practically nothing left of it, but the British are “satisfied with our post-imperialist role.”
“You don’t need to control other countries. If you love someone, let them go. What Putin is doing is archaic and barbaric, and he needs to understand that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania – none of these countries are part of the Russian Empire anymore, and the same applies to Ukraine. There is no more empire, you idiot. But that’s how it is,” added Johnson.
We will remind
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, previously stated that Russia’s territorial concessions will allow it to attack anew not only Ukraine, but also all of Europe in the future. The people of Russia and Putin himself should feel why next time there is no need to go with a new wave of war.
