Former UK PM Johnson criticizes Trump’s misguided ‘peace plan’
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has delivered scathing criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “peace plan” after Russia’s deadly missile attack on Kyiv on April 24.
In a Facebook post, Johnson described the numerous “rewards” Moscow would get under the ceasefire proposal, while “Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children.”
Besides lifting U.S. sanctions on Russia, the Kremlin would obtain “the right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding NATO membership,” the former PM stated.
“As for Ukraine — what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion?” Johnson wrote.
“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 current U.S. proposal on ending the war includes “nothing” that can “realistically stop a third Russian invasion,” Johnson continued.
“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 U.S., and all Western allies,” he concluded.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
