We’ve long known Boris Johnson stopped Russia-Ukraine peace. Why is it news now?
Why is this news?
Russian President Vladimir Putin has given a television interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in which he claimed – well, here’s someone who puts it better than I could:
The most significant revelation of the whole interview?
That Boris Johnson was the one
who derailed the Ukrainian
peace deal which had been agreed
in Spring 2022.
Leading to so much more
bloodshed and loss of life in the
region.
We too often dismiss Johnson as a clown.… pic.twitter.com/aDtw6Qcs2R

Here’s a report that puts a little more meat on the bones:
I'd believe Putin over Johnson
Putin has claimed Boris Johnson is to blame for the continuation of the war in Ukraine
He said he was ready to end the war 18 months ago, but former Tory PM put pressure on Ukraine's leaders to back out of the peace deal pic.twitter.com/nMNXh0hrHM

But there’s one problem with the reporting here: all this was known, around a year and a half ago!
This Site published an article about it – that, of course, hardly anybody read. It included this video clip, which provided a source for the information:
Some of you might pooh-pooh Jimmy Dore as a poor source of information, even though he was quoting another journalist – but in any case it seems the story has been confirmed by Putin himself.
Call him a poor source of information if you like, but how many separate sources do you need before this claim becomes credible?
I think Boris Johnson has some serious questions to answer. Again.

Putin phoned Johnson for reassurance the Ukraine would not join NATO. Johnson dithered and Russia invaded. Johnson has the disaster of Brexit and the Ukraine war to answer fir
