I am now more convinced than before, after spending 48 hours on the front line, that Ukrainians will succeed.
Axar.az reports, citing Daily Mail, Boris Johnson made the remarks following his visit to Ukrainian army positions in the Zaporizhzhia region.
In his frontline account, Johnson described the intensity of the conflict and argued that Western support for Ukraine remains insufficient.
“We are not giving the Ukrainians the kit they need – the long range missiles – to take out the drone factories, or the bases from which the Russians launch their bomber planes. Why not?”
He added that it was “no use just blaming Trump and the US’ refusal to give Tomahawks,” stressing that European states also possess long-range strike capabilities.
Johnson further argued that Western governments should make use of frozen Russian assets.
“It’s no use any of us Europeans blaming Trump when we are collectively sitting on hundreds of billions of Putin’s frozen assets, which should obviously be unfrozen and used to help Ukraine.”
The former prime minister concluded that Ukraine has the capacity to win the war, but warned that delays in Western support are contributing to continued losses.
