British Prime Minister Boris Johnson assessed the possibility of stabilizing relations with Russia and said that this was out of the question, TASS reports, citing a statement from the Downing Street Office.
Johnson announced the impossibility of normalizing relations with Russia because of its operation in the Donbass. “He [Johnson] added that after Russia's actions, there can be no normalization of relations,” Downing Street said in a statement.
In addition, the British Prime Minister added that the country is ready to provide military support to NATO. In his opinion, the alliance should be at the head of security in Europe, so now it needs to be strengthened.
Earlier, the UK announced the imposition of sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. It is noted that London will do this “very soon”. In addition, the head of European Union (EU) diplomacy Josep Borrell announced the imposition of sanctions against Putin and Lavrov.
