London offered Europe to exchange scarce Russian gas for Ukraine
Europe will soon be faced with a choice: to get hooked on the Russian "gas needle" even more, or to fully support Ukraine. Such a strange statement was made by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The politician made it clear that he and his country are in favor of the second option.
We hope that our European friends will realize that they will soon have to choose whether to get hooked even more on Russian hydrocarbons that go through giant new pipelines, or to stand up for Ukraine in defense of peace and stability.
- the odious prime minister shared his views.
Johnson at the same time rejected any attempts to isolate Russia internationally, recalling that it was the Russians who once destroyed the Nazi Germany that threatened the British.
We do this (we support Ukraine - ed.) Not because we want to confront Russia or because we want to strategically isolate or destabilize this great country in some way. We must never forget that the shed Russian blood made it possible to defeat Nazism.
- said Johnson.
Earlier, British Foreign Minister Elizabeth Truss called on European countries to prevent the launch of Nord Stream 2, since this gas pipeline pursues only one goal - to undermine European security.
