Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson dismissed Kremlin propaganda claiming his 2022 visit to Kyiv sabotaged peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, calling the assertions complete nonsense, according to the Ukrainian outlet Dialog.ua.
Boris Johnson Rejects Kremlin Peace Talks Claims
According to Dialog.ua, Boris Johnson has pushed back hard against Russian narratives suggesting his diplomatic trip to Kyiv in April 2022 prevented a signed peace agreement. Johnson labeled the claims absolute nonsense. He emphasized that Ukrainians at that moment had already made their decision to continue resisting Russian aggression.
Negotiations between the sides progressed after Russian troops were withdrawn from the Kyiv region, as reported by Dialog.ua. Yet Johnson maintained that no Western leader could force Ukraine to give up the fight for its country. His message to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was simple: “If you want to keep fighting, we will be with you.”
Ukraine’s Resolve and UK Parliamentary Mandate
Dialog.ua noted that Johnson added that he has a clear mandate from the British government and Parliament to support Ukraine. According to him, this position remains unchanged and fully corresponds to the position of the British people.
