London, Thanasis Gavos
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has expressed fears that Vladimir Putin will use chemical weapons in Ukraine.
In an interview with Sky News tonight, Johnson said that what the Russians had heard about the Ukrainians ‘or Americans’ intention to carry out a chemical attack in Donbas came “directly from their manual.”
“They start by saying that there are chemical weapons stored by their opponents or by the Americans. And so when they themselves use chemical weapons, as I am afraid they can do, they have a certain ‘maskirovka’, a false story, ready to be told. You have seen it in Syria. You have even seen it in the UK. “This is what they are already doing. It is a cynical, barbaric government,” Johnson was quoted as saying in an interview.
Earlier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Liz Trace had said he was “very concerned” about the possibility of Russia using chemical weapons.
The British Prime Minister also said that the only way to end the war in Ukraine is for President Putin to realize that he has made a “catastrophic mistake”.
Asked if there was a compromise that would make Russia stop the invasion, Johnson said: “It depends on Putin alone. I think he needs to understand that he has made a catastrophic miscalculation and that everyone can see that things are not going the way he hoped. “The best thing to do, I think, is to withdraw, to stop the violence and to allow a peaceful negotiation to begin.”
He added that the Russian president must understand that “his choices are not good.”
