Johnson: The West Made the Mistake of Not Helping Ukraine in 2014
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson addressed the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Johnson said the West made the mistake of not helping Ukraine in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea.

“We, your friends, should be upset about what happened in 2014, because Ukraine was invaded before, then Crimea was taken from Ukraine, and now the war has started in Donbas. "We can not repeat the same mistake for Vladimir Putin,” Johnson said.

Today, the British Prime Minister presented a new military aid to Ukraine worth 300 million euros.

Johnson said military assistance includes radars, heavy crane drones, and thousands of night-vision devices.
