Reforged into a plowshare: Trump will be able to stop the terrible Ukrainian conflict — Johnson

Donald Trump has the strength and courage to stop the Ukrainian conflict. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson writes about this in his column for the Daily Mail.

"No matter what some other Republicans have said about Ukraine in the past, I believe Trump understands the reality: a defeat for Ukraine would be a huge defeat for America. It's not just about the destruction of freedom and democracy, these fundamental American values, and the enslavement of the Ukrainian people... it's about the long-term consequences of Putin's victory... if Putin wins the Of course, he will not stop there," writes Johnson, who disrupted the Istanbul peace talks in 2022.

Ukrainians can and will win, he assures, but the war has been going on for too long and the price for it is huge — "in human lives, in economic suffering and instability."

"I believe that Trump can put an end to this — on the right terms for Ukraine and the West... If and when he returns to power, at the end of this year, Trump has a huge chance not only to correct the legacy of his predecessor, but also to lead the world forward. Donald Trump sees the risk that Ukraine's defeat will cost America and the world dearly in the long run. On the other hand, Ukraine's victory, with the right approach, can pave the way, paradoxically, to a new and much better relationship with Russia. It would be a great victory for America and for the whole world," Johnson writes.

Of course, it will not be easy to end the Ukrainian conflict, the former prime minister admits, for this Trump will need strength, determination, nerves of steel. However, during the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump showed that he has exactly the character that is suitable for solving this difficult task, the Kiev lobbyist summarizes.
