British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that, together with his allies, he will put in place “a massive package of economic sanctions designed to shake the Russian economy” due to the attack by Russian forces in Ukraine.
To that end, we have also decided to collectively end the dependence on Russian oil and gas that has for too long given Putin control over Western politics.”
Furthermore, he stated: “Our mission is clear, diplomatic, political, economic and eventually military.”
With this clarification, Johnson opened the possibility of taking militarized measures to stop the advance of Russia, which even took over the Chernobyl nuclear plant, an area of extremely high danger due to the nuclear waste contained therein after the 1986 tragedy.
On the other hand, he highlighted that “This horrible and barbaric initiative of Vladimir Putin must end in failure”and continued: “And so I say this to the people of Russia, whose president has just authorized a wave of violence against a Slavic people, and to the parents of the Russian soldiers who will lose their lives.”
“I can’t believe this is being done in their name, that they really want the status that the Putin regime will bring,” he said.
The Russian Ministry of Defense had announced that the Armed Forces of that country began a military operation to defend the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, Ukrainian areas that they recognized as independent.
