Ukraine: Johnson, I anti-Russian? But if my name is Boris …

(ANSA) – LONDON, MARCH 24 – “There is not a single person in NATO or in the G7 who is against Russia or against the Russian people. I least of all, since I am the only prime minister in the history of the Kingdom United that his name is Boris, a peculiarity that cannot make me even remotely a Russophobe “. This was stated by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, allowing himself a joke with the journalists of his country at the end of the Brussels summit dedicated to the situation in Ukraine, in response to the accusation made against him in the last hours by Moscow of having revealed himself fanatically “anti-Russian” in its hard-line support strategy against the Kremlin.

“You can sympathize with ordinary Russian people, who are being led so badly right now, but at the same time be deeply hostile to Vladimir Putin’s decisions,” BoJo added. “I believe – he insisted – that we all agree (between NATO and G7 leaders) that what Putin is doing is absolutely catastrophic, that his invasion of Ukraine is inhuman and barbaric: a type of horrendous behavior , which has not been seen on the European continent for 80 years “.
