Britain is focused on helping protect Ukrainians from the war and does not aim to replace Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was quoted as saying by Reuters and dunavmost.com.
Commenting on US President Joe Biden’s comment that Putin “cannot stay in power”, Johnson told a parliamentary committee that he understood “Putin’s disappointment with the people”.
“Wanting a change of government is not in itself reprehensible … it is the goal of many democratic politicians,” he said.
“But let me be absolutely clear, this is not the goal of the British government – and it is very, very important for everyone to understand. We are just trying to help protect the people of Ukraine to protect them from absolutely barbaric and unjustified violence,” he said. he.
Johnson said he expects to boost British support for Ukraine, including possible deliveries of Land Rover armored jeeps to help deliver humanitarian aid to besieged cities such as Mariupol.
The British Prime Minister stressed that, in his opinion, the G-7 and NATO should not be expected to lift sanctions against Russia if a ceasefire is agreed in Ukraine, BTA reported.
