Journalists asked Johnson if he agreed with the intelligence’s assessment that the war in Ukraine could last until the end of next year, to which Johnson replied: “Sadly, this is a realistic possibility.”
During a visit to India, Johnson said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had made a catastrophic mistake in invading Ukraine, and that he now had no choice but to continue what he was doing.
Johnson paid tribute to the Ukrainian army defending its country against the Russian invasion and spoke of planned and possible military assistance to Ukraine and its neighbors.
The prime minister said that realistic talks on ending the war did not seem possible at the moment, but that Europe and Ukraine would eventually have to negotiate future security agreements.
“What Ukrainians want, and I think they will get now, is a set of security guarantees from like-minded countries,” he added, noting that security commitments could include weapons, military training and the exchange of information, allowing Ukraine to repel possible Russian attacks in the future. .
