Johnson also shared President Volodymyr Zelensky’s views on the current situation.
Quote: “I’m afraid Volodymyr Zelenskyy is absolutely right. We risk reverting to the horrific Franco-German Normandy format, in which Russia and Ukraine were treated as equal interlocutors in a domestic squabble.”
Details: Johnson said it was Putin who launched the full-scale invasion “while Ukraine is a completely innocent party”.
Quote: “The only way to end this war is to massively and quickly strengthen Ukraine’s position.”
