Boris Johnson: If Trump was the president of the United States, the war in Ukraine would not have happened

According to RCO News Agency, “Boris Johnson”, the former prime minister of England, claimed that if Donald Trump, the former president and presidential candidate of the American Republican Party, was still in the presidency of his country, Russia would not have attacked Ukraine in 2022.

According to the “Hill” website, Johnson said in an interview with the “Telegraph” magazine, explaining his claim about Trump: “I don’t think that Trump wants to be remembered in history as someone who in his second term of the presidency instead of becoming America will re-enlarge the “Soviet Union” into a great country.

The former British Prime Minister also claimed that Ukraine should “resist” Russia because it is “very vital to the existence of freedom and democracy” and that the fall of Ukraine would be “an absolute disaster.” Trump “understands the importance of this,” he claimed.

Trump, who has previously opposed the continuation of US aid to Ukraine for the war with Russia, has claimed several times during the US presidential campaign that if he had remained the US president, Russia would not have attacked Ukraine. According to estimates, Washington has provided about 60 billion dollars in military aid to the war-torn country since the Russian military operation was implemented in Ukraine in February 2022.

Eight days ago, Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, who traveled to New York. Before this meeting with Zelensky, he also claimed that he can mediate an agreement to “end the war in Ukraine very quickly”.

He said: “We are going to have a lot of cooperation with both parties to finish this issue.”

In the continuation of his interview, Johnson said that he admires Donald Trump’s “unpredictability” and recently had a conversation with the Republican presidential candidate.

“One of the good things about Trump is his sheer unpredictability,” he said. That’s why when I look at his behavior in the field of foreign affairs, I see the contradiction with what people say about him.

Johnson claimed: “Trump is the one who fired 60 Russian spies (after the Skripal poisoning incident in Salisbury). “He has been much stricter than the democratic governments towards Syria and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and he also gave Javelin missiles to the Ukrainians.”
