Ukraine war: Johnson compares support for Ukraine to fight against Nazi Germany
Update from June 27, 1:58 p.m.:
Boris Johnson has compared support for Ukraine in the war against Russia with the fight against Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.
The price for freedom is worth paying, the British prime minister told the BBC on Monday on the sidelines of the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau.
It took democracies a long time to find an answer to tyranny and aggression in the middle of the 20th century, and the process was very expensive.
"But with the defeat of the dictators, most notably Nazi Germany, it brought many decades of stability, a world order based on a rules-based international system," Johnson said.
"It's worth protecting, it's worth defending, it brings long-term prosperity."

Putin's allies: Zelenskyj warns Belarus against interfering in the Ukraine war
First report: Kyiv - The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj calls on the people in neighboring Belarus not to be drawn into the escalating Ukraine conflict.
"The Kremlin has already decided everything for you," he said in his evening video address on Sunday, with a view of Moscow.
"But you are not slaves and cannon fodder.
You must not die.” People should not let others decide for Belarus.
Weapons for Belarus: Putin announces deliveries to neighboring Ukraine
Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko met with Russian President Vladimir Putin again on Saturday.
The Kremlin chief announced the delivery of Iskander-M missile systems to Belarus, which can also be equipped with nuclear warheads.
According to the latest information from Kyiv, Russian troops recently also attacked Ukraine from Belarus.
The country is considered a close ally of Russia and was repeatedly used as a base by the Russian army during the war.
For a long time, however, Lukashenko ruled out that Belarus would intervene militarily in the Ukraine war.
Even before Zelenskyj's speech, however, there were suspicions that the Russian ruler was putting pressure on Lukashenko to take part in the war.
Regarding this, the Ukrainian President said: “I know that the people of Belarus support us, only us, not the war.
And that's why the Russian leadership wants to drag you into a war."
Weapons for Ukraine: USA are planning further deliveries in the Ukraine war
Zelenskyj, who will speak at the G7 summit on Monday, also called for more weapons in view of Russian attacks.
Any delay in arms deliveries to Ukraine is an invitation to Russia to strike again.
"We need powerful air defense - modern, effective." There are already agreements with partners, but they have to move faster.
Apparently, the US is already planning further deliveries to Ukraine.
The American journalist Natasha Bertrand from the television channel CNN shared the following message via Twitter: "The USA plans to announce this week that they have bought NASAMS, a sophisticated surface-to-air missile defense system, for Ukraine." Further deliveries would also be made to be announced this week.
