British PM Boris Johnson Says A Russian Takeover Of Ukraine Would Be ‘Absolutely Catastrophic’

 

CNBC: British PM Boris Johnson warns Russian takeover of Ukraine would be ‘absolutely catastrophic’ for the world 

* British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned Sunday that if Russia succeeds in its takeover of Ukraine, the global results would be “absolutely catastrophic.” 

* If Putin succeeds in his takeover, “we’re legitimizing further acquisition by him by violence of other parts of the Soviet Union,” Johnson said. 

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned Sunday that if Russia succeeds in its takeover of Ukraine, the global results would be “absolutely catastrophic.” 

Russia has been continuing its relentless attacks on Ukraine that started in late February. On Sunday, Russian forces unleashed a round of missiles on Kyiv, its first attack on the capital in weeks. 

Several view the strikes as a show of defiance against the Group of Seven leaders that were meeting the same day to discuss efforts to restrict and pressure the Kremlin. Still, Johnson urged the West to continue its support of Ukraine as the war drags on. Allowing Russian success could set a dangerous precedent, he said.
