Boris Johnson wrote Wednesday that President Trump’s statements about Ukraine “are not intended to be historically accurate, but to shock Europeans into action.”
At the #FortuneGlobalForum in November 2024, the former U.K. prime minister expressed concern about the genuine risk of a deal being made during the Russia-Ukraine war that is not in the interest of “freedom and democracy.”
Johnson’s comments come after Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia, and called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “a dictator." The U.S. and Russia have recently started direct talks on ending the war, but without Ukraine’s involvement.
