Will Donald Trump withhold aid to Ukraine? Boris Johnson: In that case we'll have to send in the troops
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said supporting Ukraine and defending democracy was a “sound investment of public money”. – Why do we support Ukrainians? Because if we don't, our collective security will be really undermined by a resurgent Russia, he said, threatening various parts of Europe.
