Boris Johnson: Don't drift back to the ghastly negotiation format treating Russia and Ukraine equally

 Former British prime minister Boris Johnson strongly disapproved the recent phone call between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin:

 

"I am afraid Volodymyr Zelenskyy is completely right. We risk drifting back to the ghastly Franco-German Normandy format which treated Russia and Ukraine as equally valid interlocutors in a domestic squabble.

That is a shameful betrayal of reality - that Putin has launched a criminal and unjustifiable invasion while Ukraine is an entirely innocent party.

The only way to bring this war to an end is massively and rapidly to strengthen the position of Ukraine."
