Boris Johnson takes hard line against the Kremlin after Emmanuel Macron compromises on Ukraine

The Telegraph  

Boris Johnson claimed there was growing unity among European powers over how to defuse the Ukraine crisis but his insistence that Kyiv's right to join Nato remained non-negotiable highlighted enduring splits with France. That's the idea that Nato must have an open door policy, that the people of Ukraine must be able to aspire to Nato membership,” he said. It was telling that Mr Johnson stopped short of saying the Western powers were united when asked about Nato splits over Russia at the press conference with Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato Secretary General. I just want to stress that it will be an absolute disaster there would be serious bloodshed on Ukrainian soil,” he said, “This is the moment to now think of another way forward.” He said, “I think it's a very good opportunity for us to put our heads together and try to find ways of reassuring Russia without compromising those fundamental principles of NATO's open door policy it's time to de-escalate and to talk.”
