The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has backed the US to stop Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, adding that it would be disastrous.
“I think it’s very important that people in Russia understand that this could be a new Chechnya,” Johnson said. “I’ve got to tell you that I think the intelligence is pretty gloomy at this point. There is certainly a very, very large array of Russian forces and we have to take the necessary steps.”
“I don’t think it’s by any means inevitable now, I think that sense can still prevail,” he added.
The UK officials have repeatedly warned Russia over any incursion into Ukraine. “The UK stands squarely behind the sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine,” Johnson underlined his country’s support to Ukraine.
He said the UK is “doing everything possible to support the Ukrainian people in the face of a disinformation campaign from Russia aimed at undermining its sovereign neighbor.”
“The UK remains open to further talks with Russia,” Johnson noted last week.
