Unjustified described the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson the threat from Russia for targeting Western diplomats and other objectives in Ukraineas he said the only thing countries like Britain do is help the Ukrainians to defend themselves against the invader.

In a morning interview on an ITV show on Downing Street, Mr. Johnson said that “What the UK is doing – and it has been doing since the beginning of the crisis – is to lead the world in helping Ukrainians defend themselves against Vladimir Putin’s barbaric aggression.”.

“This is all we do,” he said. “We are not saying that we are doing it in order to cause some geopolitical change or to have an outcome in Moscow (ss: overthrowing Putin). “What we care about is the Ukrainian people and their suffering.”

Mr. Johnson defended the grant program visa to Ukrainian refugeessaying that they have been issued 86,000 visas. He acknowledged, however, that the process could be faster. However, he stressed that in times of war there are people who want to abuse the refugee reception system and come to Britain for other purposes, so “it is important to protect the system”.

In the full-length interview, two days before the local elections in which the ruling Conservative Party is expected to suffer losses, he said that he has awareness of difficulties which creates in households the increased cost of living.

Note that this is global phenomenon associated with increased energy costs and reported a series of measures which as he said help the citizens. He nevertheless received many questions about other measures that increase the pressure on the poorer strata.

In terms of partygatereiterated that he has not deliberately misled the public as to whether lockdown rules were violated on Downing Street and other government buildings.

He replied that he “has no idea” whether the police will impose a fine on him and leave for his presence at one of the parties under investigation. He has already fined 50 50 for the mini-party for his birthday in June 2020.

When asked if he is an honest Prime Minister, his answer was “yes”.
