In his interview with Tucker Carlson‚ Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed former United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson squashed peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. “We negotiated with Ukraine in Istanbul‚ we agreed‚ he was aware of this. He [Zelensky] even put his preliminary signature on the document I am telling you about‚” Putin said. “But then he publicly stated to the whole world: ‘We were ready to sign this document. But Mr. Johnson‚ then the Prime Minister of Great Britain‚ came and dissuaded us from doing this‚ saying it was better to fight Russia. And we agreed with this proposal‚'” he continued. “And the fact that they obey the demand or persuasion of Mr. Johnson‚ the former Prime Minister of Great Britain‚ seems ridiculous and very sad to me‚” he added.

He added that: “No peace proposals or peace agreement were possible in February or March 2022. Russia entered Ukraine solely for the sake of seizing territories‚ killing citizens and overthrowing a democratic government.” The former prime minister’s rebuttal came following statements made by David Arahamiya‚ the leader of the Servant of the People party faction in the Verkhovna Rada and head of the Ukrainian delegation in talks with Russia‚ in November 2023. Mr Arahamiya cited a previous vist by Mr Johnson to Kyiv as forming part of the decision not to negotiate with Moscow in 2022. Mr Johnson had allegedly said that Ukraine “shouldn’t sign anything with them at all – and let’s just fight.” “Looks like the Biden Administration deployed Boris Johnson to scuttle a tentative peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in spring 2022. This was never about the Ukrainian people. It was always about engineering a war against Russia‚” independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in June 2023.
