Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urges former President Donald Trump “not to hand over victory to Vladimir Putin.” At an event in Ottawa, Canada, Johnson addressed Republicans in the US House of Representatives to dissuade them from the much-debated debate to convince Ukraine aid. If the Russian president were to win in the Ukraine war, it would be a “catastrophe for the West” and “a catastrophe for America,” the British ex-prime minister said.
The 59-year-old once again reiterated his earlier statements that Ukraine must join NATO. “Ukraine has chosen to be a free, independent European nation oriented towards the West, the EU and NATO. And Ukraine must joining NATO. This is the only logical way forward,’ as the ex- prime minister stated. The fact that this could provoke Putin should not deter the West. Integration of Russia into the West through appeasement and trade has already been attempted - and without success, Johnson notes.
