Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said a European “deterrence force” led by the British and French could be a security guarantee for Ukraine as the Trump administration pushes forward with talks to end Russia’s war.
Johnson, who was the first Western leader to visit Kyiv during the 2022 full-scale invasion, told “The Story” on Tuesday that the United Kingdom and France are the two countries likely to lead the deterrence force because they “let Ukraine down” in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
Johnson told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum that European countries ultimately want to strengthen Ukraine and turn it into a “steel-quilled porcupine” that is “fundamentally indigestible” to future Russian attacks.
