Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed what the plan to end the war in Ukraine looks like. Johnson did so in his op-ed for the Daily Mail.
Just two years earlier, the British politician was named as the main initiator of the disruption of the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, which were about to be concluded in Istanbul.
“After speaking to Donald Trump, I am more convinced than ever that he has the strength and courage to fix it, save Ukraine, bring peace – and stop the catastrophic contagion of conflict,” Boris Johnson said.
The British Prime Minister warns that “Russia must not win in Ukraine”. But despite this, compromises with the Kremlin are possible.
“Trump understands the reality: that a defeat for Ukraine would be a huge defeat for America,” Johnson emphasized.
According to the former British Prime Minister, the path to peace looks like this:
The West allows Ukraine to use ATACMS and Storm Shadow long-range missiles, as well as other weapons, to attack military targets in Russia. These strikes will allow a Ukrainian breakthrough on the front.
Russia is then offered to withdraw to the borders from February 24, 2022. In this way, Moscow retains Crimea and parts of the Donbass.
Russia can declare that the Special Military Operation has accomplished its mission and de-Nazified Ukraine. The reason for this will be the introduction of special protective measures for the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian territory under the control of Kiev is recognized as a “free state” with the prospect of rapid accession to the EU and NATO.
After the war, Ukrainian formations were deployed in European countries to replace some of the 70,000 US troops deployed to deter potential Russian aggression. That would allow Trump to save money, bring American troops home and force the Europeans to do more for their defense, one of his main goals.
With Trump in the White House, there is a real prospect of some sort of global rapprochement with Russia and with Putin. There is a chance of a return to the days when Russia was a respected partner of the G8 and even NATO. But there is only one way to achieve this result – by force. Washington under the leadership of Trump will have to show that international borders must be respected and that the Soviet empire cannot be restored by force, writes dir.bg.
Boris Johnson then makes some important remarks about why Donald Trump can be tougher on the Russians.
“Never forget that it was Trump, not Obama or Biden, who gave the Ukrainians the Javelin anti-tank weapons. They were the ones that were so decisive in the battle for Kiev in 2022. Trump already has a track record of making decisive military intervention in the name of Ukrainian democracy.” , Johnson shares.
“Donald Trump sees the risk: that defeating Ukraine would have enormous long-term costs for America and the world. On the other hand, a victory for Ukraine – if framed correctly – could pave the way, paradoxically, for a new and much better relationship of the West with Russia. This would be a great victory for America and for the whole world.
I’m not saying it will be easy. It will take strength. This will require determination. It will take nerves of steel. In Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump showed he has the guts for the job,” concludes Boris Johnson.
