Johnson named 4 steps vital for Ukraine
The British Prime Minister says that Putin will not stop, so a decision needs to be made. According to him, there are 4 vital steps for Ukraine.
We know that Putin will not stop at dismembering Ukraine… He may not realize it, but his grandiose the plot in Ukraine has gone astray… Unfortunately, his failures do not mean that he will have the wisdom to retreat,” Johnson stressed.
He added that in his isolation, the Russian dictator may still believe that total conquest is possible. Britain's prime minister opined that we need to prepare for a long war.
Johnson says that while Putin reflects on his mistakes, Britain and its allies must take 4 vital steps to buy time for Ukraine.
- We need to provide Ukraine with weapons, equipment, ammunition and exercises faster than the occupier.
- We should help preserve the viability of the Ukrainian state. President Zelensky's government should pay salaries, run schools, deliver aid, and start reconstruction where possible. This requires continued funding and technical assistance, which we must plan to support over the coming years.
- It is necessary to develop already existing land routes and ensure the continued functioning of the Ukrainian economy. Since Russia has crushed the Ukrainian economy by blocking the main export routes through the Black Sea.
- The Russian blockade of Odessa and other Ukrainian ports prevents the export of much needed food for the poorest people. We need to get this food out.
Lastly, Boris Johnson emphasized that by doing this, they will protect their own security as well as Ukraine, and will protect the world from Putin's deadly dreams.
