Moscow, Europe Brief News – UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that his country and its allies will use ‘a massive package of sanctions’ to ‘hobble the Russian economy.’
Ukraine is a country that for decades has enjoyed freedom and democracy and the right to choose its own destiny. We and the world cannot allow that freedom just to be snuffed out. We cannot and will not just look away, Johnson said in a televised statement addressing the nation.
“Today, in concert with our allies, we will agree a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to hobble the Russian economy.”
“We must also collectively cease the dependence on Russian oil and gas that for too long has given Putin his grip on western politics.”
Our mission is clear; diplomatically politically, economically, and eventually, military, this hideous and barbaric venture of Vladimir Putin must end in failure, Johnson concluded.
