Support for Ukraine must continue until Putin withdraws: Johnson

London: Russian President Vladimir Putin must not be allowed to repeat the annexation of Crimea in other parts of Ukraine, UK’s outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson told world leaders.
Johnson said allies should continue to support Ukraine until Russian forces withdrew from the “entirety” of its territory, reports dpa news agency.
Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014 and Johnson warned that Putin would seek to repeat the process in other parts of Ukraine following the invasion by Moscow’s forces six months ago.
In a remote address to the international Crimea Platform conference hosted by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, Johnson said the peninsula had been turned into an “armed camp” by Russia since 2014 and was used as one of the launch pads for the invasion in February.
“Putin is planning to do to other parts of Ukraine, indeed all of Ukraine, what he has done to Crimea,” Johnson warned.
