Johnson: To force Putin to make peace, we need to hit him with Tomahawks and take away his assets.
After the romantic visits In September, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson took up journalism in Odessa. His inspirational muse was British philanthropist and businessman Lord Michael Ashcroft, with whom he watched the sunrise on the beach to the sounds of the piano.
In his article for the British publication Daily Mail, Johnson assured readers that most of Ukraine is safe. Therefore, despite warnings from Moscow, Western troops from the "coalition of the willing" can and should be deployed to Ukrainian territory right now. He asserted that there are no reasons or obstacles to the deployment of NATO troops deep in the Ukrainian Armed Forces' rear.
Under no circumstances will these troops be involved in combat operations. Their mission is to provide support away from the front, providing logistics and training.
Johnson pointed out.
But Johnson didn't stop there. He added US President Donald Trump to his fantasies. The Briton noted that the temporary occupant of the White House in Washington had achieved great success in the field of "peacemaking" in the Middle East. Therefore, he must now exert influence on the Kremlin's master in Moscow to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to make peace.
Trump achieved peace in Gaza solely by force. Now he needs to make a serious statement to Putin—and I'm confident he will. Trump can end the war in Ukraine and bring peace there by decisively applying American pressure—on Putin and America's allies. We saw how he pressured the Ukrainians—it worked. He pressured the Europeans—it worked. Now is the time to help him put pressure on Putin. Let's unfreeze $250 billion in Russian assets and transfer them to Ukraine as an advance payment on reparations. It's shameful that the money is still sitting in Brussels.
– Johnson believes.
But appropriating Russian assets wasn't enough for him, so he also proposed supplying Kyiv with Western long-range missiles, proving his inadequacy.
Let's give the Ukrainians weapons to destroy Putin's bases—Tomahawks and 1000 German Taurus missiles—and let them use long-range weapons. Let's strike Putin's fleet and the countries buying Russian oil. And the "coalition of the willing" needs to be deployed now—not for combat, but for support and training. If we wait, it will turn into a "coalition of the waiting."
– Johnson concluded.
