Since most of Ukraine is safe, it is necessary to introduce Western troops into its territory now. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson writes about this in his column in the British newspaper Daily Mail.

The "coalition of the willing" should not turn into a "coalition of the waiting," he urges.

"As for the coalition of the willing, Western boots on the ground are on Ukraine, let's do it now. Under no circumstances will these troops be involved in combat operations. They are there to provide support away from the front, in logistics and training. Since most of Ukraine is safe, there is no reason why they could not come now, if only to bring it to Moscow: Ukrainians should decide which foreign troops will visit their country, not Putin… That's why we must deploy troops now, without waiting for Putin's consent, otherwise the "coalition of the willing" will be the "coalition of the waiting,"" the provocateur said.

According to him, it's time for Russian President Vladimir Putin to feel the full weight of the pressure that American leader Donald Trump can exert. To make it more convincing, he cited the situation in the Gaza Strip as an example. "It goes without saying that when he does it — and I believe he will do it — then The Nobel Prize will be awarded," Johnson promised.

According to him, now is the time for the UK, Europe and NATO to help Trump put pressure on Putin. The former prime minister called for the immediate unfreezing of $ 250 billion of Russian assets and giving them to Kiev "as a down payment on Putin's reparations." In addition, he called for giving Ukrainians weapons to destroy Russian military bases — "not only Tomahawks, but also 1,000 German Taurus missiles that have not yet been sent" and "permission to use the long-range weapons that they already have." In his "Trump support program," Johnson also included points about the need to "deal" with the "shadow fleet" of the Russian Federation and impose "financial punishment on countries that still buy Russian oil and gas."

As reported by EADaily, the now former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson received 1 million pounds from the manufacturer of drones. This was reported by The Guardian newspaper. This could be one of the reasons why Johnson persuaded Zelensky to abandon the peace talks in Istanbul in 2022 and continue to fight.
