Putin underestimating Ukraine — Russia will be defeated, says Boris Johnson | TheCable
Boris Johnson, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, says Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was a miscalculated move.
He said the Russian president was threatened by Ukraine’s democratic growth and feared that the Kremlin would rise against him in protest. “And as Ukraine succeeded and aligned ever more closely with Western democracy, the Russian people would themselves demand change and that Putin’s own position would be under threat. He miscalculated so badly and failed to see the heroic resistance of the Ukrainians.”
“By the way, Ukraine is going to win, just so you know. I’m very proud of what the UK did when I was prime minister. We were the first major European country to give them serious quantities of weaponry and they helped the Ukrainian forces to kick the Russian forces out of Kyiv, out of Kharkiv, out of Kherson,” Johnson said.

Biden-Putin duel on the Ukraine war anniversaryAfter a string of speeches from both sides in the run up to the Ukraine invasion anniversary, the situation seems to be heating up. Amidst the striking images of President Biden’s surprise visit to Kyiv, and his follow up speech in Warsaw where he raised the loud slogans “Kyiv stands strong” and “Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia,” Putin was also busy in commemorating the “anniversary” with back to back three retaliatory speeches in three days in which he announced the unilateral suspension of the New START treaty as well as announced to deploy new Sarmat multi-warhead intercontinental ballistic missiles this year. The western perception is that, with no major battlefield victories to report in time for the anniversary and Biden trying to rebuke him by journeying to Kyiv, Putin has instead turned to nuclear rhetoric and suspended participation in the New START arms control treaty.
