Johnson: British soldiers should defend the borders of Ukraine in the peace agreeme
Boris Johnson was British troops to commit to peacekeeping duties on the Ukrainian border as part of any ceasefire deal in the Ukraine-Russia war.
According to Isna, Johnson, who was the former Prime Minister of England, told the “Daily Telegraph” magazine that the responsibility for maiaining peace should be carried out by a multinational group of Western couries.
“I don’t think we should send combat troops to confro the Russians,” he said. But I think as part of the solution, as part of the end-state, you wa multinational European peacekeeping forces to monitor the borders and help the Ukrainians. “I cannot see that such a European operation could happen without Britain.”
As US Preside-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office in January, the future US leader has called for speeding up peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and during the campaign has talked about his plans to end the war within 24 hours. The clock spoke.
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson said other European couries should be transpare about any security guaraees or funding offered as part of a poteial peace deal. One of the options he proposed was Ukraine joining NATO. The NATO treaty requires all members to defend each other in case of attack.
“We have to determine what kind of security guaraees we think are appropriate,” he said. The only thing that really works is NATO’s Article 5 guaraee, which has kept peace in Europe for 80 years. This is why the Baltic states are in NATO. “That’s why the Poles, Hungarians, Czechs, Finns and Swedes are now in NATO.”
On the other hand, the administration of outgoing US Preside Joe Biden has asked Ukraine to lower its conscription age from 25 to 18 to help expand the pool of fighting-age men. However, Kiev emphasizes that the new force also needs new weapons.
The commes of the former British Prime Minister were made less than a day after the curre British Prime Minister Kerr Starmer spoke with the Preside of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in a situation where his coury’s power grid is under bombardme by Russian forces.
Russia’s renewed attack on Ukraine’s power grid, the second in less than two weeks, has added to concerns that the Kremlin hopes to cripple its enemy’s power generation before wier, according to PyMedia. According to Ukrainian officials, electricity has been cut to one million homes in the war-torn coury.
Downing Street described the Russian attacks as “brutal” and added that the British prime minister described them as “systematic” and “destructive” when he spoke to Zelensky. In the midst of these attacks, Zelenskiy, in a call to the British Prime Minister, expressed his appreciation for “the UK’s unwavering support, including the commitme to provide at least 3 billion pounds annually for Ukraine’s needs.”
In a fresh signal that Kiev is likely to use Britain’s “Storm Shadow” missiles, the Ukrainian preside added: “We discussed advancing defense cooperation and strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities.”
British officials have not confirmed that they have authorized Ukraine to use the weapons to attack targets inside Russia. Prime Minister Stormer’s office said only that “both leaders stressed the importance of putting Ukraine in the best possible position ahead of another challenging wier of conflict.”
