Brexit-Ukraine Comparison by Mr. Johnson
Mr. John revealed that British people are choosing to get vaccinated against Coronavirus. They want to get on with their life without having any pressure due to pandemics. It seems that they are fed up with the restrictions imposed on them. However, his remarks have attracted some criticism from prominent political figures. Mr. Tusk couldn’t hold himself to tweeting about the issue relating to Ukraine. Others believe that this comparison is absurd and these words will offend Ukrainians too.
As Mr. Johnson has linked Ukraine to Brexit, Chancellor Rishi Sunak came forward with an explanation. He feels that the Prime Minister wasn’t making any direct comparison between these things. It seems that Johnson was talking about his general observations on how people look for freedom. With this message, Prime Minister Johnson wants to send out a strong message to Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine has recently applied for fast-track membership for the Europeans Union. It happens shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine’s territory. According to Mr. Zelensky, he has directly spoken to the head of the European Commission over this matter. Along with Ursula von der Leyen, he expects some progress on the Brexit- Ukraine comparison issues too.
