He emphasized the importance of financial assistance to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities, noting that the future of the state depends not on territory but on its identity and choices.
Support for Ukraine's European choice
Johnson stressed the necessity to reaffirm Ukraine's intention to move towards the West, receive Western security guarantees, and demonstrate compliance with European standards, including joining NATO. He also pointed out that a ceasefire could be a reasonable way out of the conflict, even if it meant losing control over some territories in Kyiv.
