✅🇺🇦 Boris Johnson said that for Victory, Ukraine needs to be given everything it needs: permission for long-range strikes on the Russian Federation, financial obligations and NATO membership.

❗️"Convince that NATO will now defend, then Putin will know three things: military obligations are much stronger, financial ones are necessarily huge and will last a long time and he will know that he has lost geostrategically," he added.
