Kyiv’s Ukrayinskaya Pravda newspaper reported May 5, based upon officials “close to” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted that “even if Ukraine was ready to sign some kind of agreement with Russia, the West was not.” Their account is that Johnson swept into Kyiv on April 9, “almost without warning,” bringing with him “two simple messages.” One, Putin was “a war criminal, who should be prosecuted and not negotiated with.” And, two, the above declaration that the West would not have an agreement with Russia. The West “now felt that Putin was not really as omnipotent as they had imagined” and all sorts of heavy weapons would now flow into Ukraine.
