British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to discuss with the leaders of the European Union (EU) ways to prevent war in Ukraine and how to help Kiev to provide defense. This was reported by the prime minister's office, reports TASS.
“The crisis on the border of Ukraine has reached a critical point. All the information we have indicates that Russia is planning to invade Ukraine at any moment. This will have catastrophic consequences for both Ukraine and Russia,” said the representative of the British Cabinet.
The prime minister's office added that Johnson will make every effort and use the possibilities of diplomacy to de-escalate. He will discuss with NATO allies the possibility of providing Kiev with additional economic assistance.
At the end of the week, the head of the British government is expected to visit Europe, but it is not indicated which country he will visit. It is possible that we are talking about participation in the Munich Security Conference, which starts on Friday, February 18, but there has been no confirmation yet.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the policy of the United States and Great Britain is classic war propaganda. She recalled that such propaganda is prohibited by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, adopted by a resolution of the UN General Assembly on December 16, 1966. It says that any propaganda of military action should be prosecuted by law.
