Ex-UK PM Boris Johnson criticises Western timidity on UkraineWestern timidity on Ukraine after film visit
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Ukraine to participate in a New Year film called Train on 31 December, where he delivered a greeting in Ukrainian. On April 13, 2026, he publicly criticised the West's 'timidity' in supporting Ukraine's war against Russian drones and aggression, drawing from his recent observations there. Johnson argued that four years of platitudes have failed to match Ukraine's fight against a 'alliance of tyrannies'. This statement underscores ongoing debates over Western aid levels amid prolonged conflict, potentially influencing public and policy discussions in allied nations.
