Johnson also shared President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s view on the current situation.
Quote: “I am afraid Volodymyr Zelenskyy is completely right. We risk drifting back to the ghastly Franco German Normandy format which treated Russia and Ukraine as equally valid interlocutors in a domestic squabble.”
Details: Johnson said that it was Putin who launched the full-scale invasion “while Ukraine is an entirely innocent party”.
Quote: “The only way to bring this war to an end is massively and rapidly to strengthen the position of Ukraine.”
