In an interview with the Guardian, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed allegations that Boris Johnson disrupted a potential peace agreement with Russia in spring 2022 as illogical. Zelenskyy clarified that he had never sanctioned Russian demands. Despite the narrative gaining traction, particularly by the Kremlin, Zelenskyy emphasized that Johnson had no real influence on Ukraine's decisions regarding the war. The context of these claims gains urgency as Donald Trump approaches a potential negotiation with Ukraine, raising concerns about pressure to accept unfavorable terms from Russia.
Zelenskyy asserted that claims about Johnson's influence on a peace deal are illogical, saying he never approved any ultimatums from Russia and that Johnson's role was minimal.
The Kremlin has propagated the notion that Ukraine backed out of a peace deal under Western insistence, but Zelenskyy directly refuted this narrative during his interview.
