In what was essentially a surprise visit to Kyiv, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson floated the idea of launching a massive training operation for Ukrainian forces—we’re talking about the potential to train up to 10,000 soldiers every 120 days—according to reports from The New York Times.
"The whole point of me being here today, right in the middle of this conflict, is to send a clear, unmistakable message to the people of Ukraine: the United Kingdom stands with you, and we aren't going anywhere until you come out on top," said Johnson, who touched down in Kyiv specifically to sit down with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He went on to suggest that this new military training initiative "could potentially shift the entire equation of this war—by tapping into that unstoppable force, the sheer determination of the Ukrainian people, to secure a victory."
Meanwhile, Andriy Yermak, the President's Chief of Staff, took to X to report that their discussions covered some pretty critical ground, including "the desperately needed heavy weaponry and air defense systems, economic support for Ukraine, and ramping up the pressure through sanctions against Russia."
As soon as those three pulled out of Kyiv, BoJo was already flying off at a low altitude. 🙏
I didn't actually sit through Putin's essay at that unprecedented economic forum, but I read the summaries and that's basically it.
The USA is collapsing under inflation, NATO is responsible for everything, Russia is just defending itself with a limited military action that isn't an invasion and certainly isn't a war, Europeans will starve to death and then freeze. Russia is never stronger. 🙏
