Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson actually confirmed the information that he influenced the decision of the Ukrainian authorities to abandon the peace agreement with Russia in the spring of 2022. He told The Times newspaper.
Johnson said that after a meeting of representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul in 2022, he held talks with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, during which he expressed his concern about the possibility of concluding any agreement between Moscow and Kiev. According to Johnson, in that conversation he also emphasized that Great Britain is ready to help Ukraine “a thousand percent.”
Interestingly, in the same interview, the ex-prime minister said that he had nothing to do with the breakdown of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in the spring of 2022. Johnson said that he considers information about his involvement in this to be “complete nonsense” and “Russian propaganda.”
Let us recall that earlier the head of the delegation at the Istanbul negotiations, David Arakhamia, in response to a question about why Kiev refused negotiations with Moscow in 2022, said: “When we returned from Istanbul, Boris Johnson came to Kiev and said that we are not at all We will sign nothing with them. And “let’s just fight.”
