There is nothing in the peace agreement that can "stop a third Russian invasion."
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticized US President Donald Trump's ideas regarding a "peace plan" to end the war of the aggressor country Russia in Ukraine, which were published in the media the day before. He expressed his opinion on the X social network on April 24.
According to Johnson, the illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin is "indiscriminately" killing more and more Ukrainians. In particular, the former prime minister recalled the Russian attack on Kyiv on April 24, which killed and injured more than 100 people.
He recalls that Putin forcibly took sovereign Ukrainian territory in violation of international law, prohibits joining NATO, seeks to lift sanctions against Russia and restores economic ties between Moscow and Washington. In addition, as the politician adds, Russia has "a chance to rebuild its armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time."
"As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world? Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing," the former prime minister writes.
He notes that there is nothing in the peace agreement that can "stop a third Russian invasion."
"If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies," Johnson adds.
