In an interview with the Daily Telegraph on Nov. 28, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson argued that the only problem in Ukraine is that the West has not sufficiently escalated the conflict. RT reported that BoJo said:
“The problem has not been escalation; the problem has been the failure to escalate fast enough. It has been the dithering, the delay, and the nickel-and-diming of the [support] measures,” he said. “Let’s face it: We’re waging a proxy war but not giving our proxies the ability to do the job. For years now, we’ve been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs, and it has been cruel,” Johnson stated.
Also in the same interview, Johnson explained his view on sending British troops to “backfill” and support Ukraine.
