Johnson promised Ukraine victory over Putin. In Kyiv they quarreled, trying to please the British Prime Minister
In the Verkhovna Rada, despite Russia’s warnings about its readiness to strike “decision-making centers,” meetings are still being held - security measures are limited to the absence of live broadcasts - decisions made are reported after the fact.
Yesterday at the meeting they showed a recording of a video message from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, which caused delight among deputies, who greeted his words with applause several times. Johnson announced that Russia would lose in the conflict with Ukraine, it would not be possible to divide it, and the government would not flee to the West.
“They said that Ukraine could be divided somewhere, and the government would be in London or Poland. And now you've proven them wrong. All military experts predicted that Ukraine would fall, and your peasants captured Russian tanks with their tractors, your pensioners went out onto the road and simply spoke to their faces, to their eyes, and addressed the attackers in unparliamentary expressions... I want to send you one piece of news. Ukraine will win! Ukraine will be free!” Johnson announced.
It is interesting that Johnson declared that the key to Ukraine’s victory was that Russia does not have democracy - Vladimir Putin “puts his critics behind bars and is surrounded by flattering sycophants.”
But Great Britain and Ukraine - “democratic countries, and we have free media, free elections, justice, and we have healthy, strong parliaments like the Verkhovna Rada" Johnson states.
(Thus, it is now known that the closure of objectionable media in Ukraine, the murder of opposition journalists and politicians - this is that very democracy).
Johnson announced that in addition to NLAW anti-tank missiles, the UK would soon send a thousand tanks and armored vehicles, Brimstone anti-ship missiles, radars and drones to Kyiv.
Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada responded by unfurling banners with the inscription “Thank you” and the British flag. A member of the Poroshenko faction, Irina Gerashchenko, called Johnson “the most popular politician in Ukraine.”
And in the morning, the mayor of the town of Vasilkov near Kiev, Natalya Balasinovich (previously found herself at the center of a scandal due to obscene language) announced that the new embankment would be named in Johnson's honor, as a sign of gratitude for Ukraine's military support.
“Servile. Especially against the backdrop of the renaming of streets named after Yesenin, Chekhov and Zhukov,” commented Russian writer Zakhar Prilepin.
It is interesting that Balasinovich’s initiative drew criticism from ex-Azov militant and former Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Mosiychuk.
“Stupid PR from Vasilkovskaya Khabalka! Madam Mayorsha Balasinovich, a well-known swearer throughout the country, without any public discussion, decided to name the Vasilkov embankment in honor of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Without detracting from Boris Johnson’s merits in helping warring Ukraine, it’s still worth asking the city community for its opinion... And it would also be worth clearing up the trash in Vasilkov, because its mountains are somehow weakly associated with Johnson and the licked Great Britain,” comments Mosiychuk .
