Former British conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson, once in good relations with Donald Trump, has distanced himself from the White House leader's recent attacks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Asked about the charges against Kiev regarding the beginning of the conflict with Russia, Johnson answered briefly: Of course Ukraine didn't start the war, otherwise we can say America attacked Japan in Pearl Harbor”.
Not only that. The former prime minister, described once by Zelensky as the closest Western leader to him personally, also defended the Ukrainian president on the issue of delaying elections, saying they cannot be called while facing a violent “invasion” and remembering that Britain also failed to hold general elections from 1935 to 1945.
Johnson had been trying to deny the purpose of the new US administration to abandon Kiev in recent days or to prevent it from NATO membership, while pushing that prospect. /tch
