Four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is blunt. Europe, he says, is not doing enough to help Ukraine win.
In a wide-ranging interview with Independence Avenue Media on the anniversary of the invasion, an exasperated Johnson argues that Europe lacks urgency. He says the war will not end without dramatically increasing pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also defends his proposal to reopen Lviv’s airport as a symbol of resilience, calls for the use of frozen Russian assets, and insists that Ukrainian victory — not mere survival — must once again become the goal of Western policy.
Johnson also credits the Trump administration for taking “decisive” action to pressure Russia, while insisting that Kyiv has compromised enough.
