Ukraine war: West made ‘terrible mistake’ after Crimea – PM
BBC News says Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the West made a “terrible mistake” and let President Vladimir Putin “get away” with annexing Crimea in 2014.
Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Johnson said ending the West’s dependence on Russian oil and gas was vital to “end the bullying” from the Kremlin.
It comes as the foreign secretary is expected to announce further sanctions.
About 100 more people are likely to be sanctioned under newly-passed legislation, the BBC has learned.
In his article in the Telegraph, Mr Johnson said: “When Putin invaded Ukraine the first time round, in 2014, the West made a terrible mistake. The Russian leader had committed an act of violent aggression and taken a huge chunk out of a sovereign country – and we let him get away with it.”
