KYIV: Former UK PM Boris Johnson called for boots on the ground in Ukraine, even as he slammed Europe for not showing enough urgency to put pressure on Russia to end the war. "Europe is only applying a tenth of the pressure that it can on Russia. Things need to go up a gear to stop the war."
Speaking in Kyiv on the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russia-Ukraine war, Johnson said that Europe should send non-combat troops to Ukraine now instead of waiting for a ceasefire. "Why can't these European non-combat troops help in reopening Lviv airport? This will show Putin that Europe will stay committed to Ukraine's security and future."
