“PM pledges support for Ukraine in negotiations: A significant shift in UK foreign policy” – Sky News

In a significant shift in the UK’s stance on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that the country will work to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position for negotiations.

The Prime Minister’s statement comes amidst escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with fears of a potential full-scale war looming. Johnson’s pledge to support Ukraine in negotiations marks a departure from the UK’s previous position of non-intervention in the conflict.

“We stand firmly with Ukraine in its efforts to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Johnson said in a statement. “We will work tirelessly to ensure that Ukraine is in the strongest possible position for negotiations, and that any resolution to the conflict is fair and just.”

The Prime Minister’s announcement has been met with both praise and criticism, with some applauding the UK’s commitment to supporting Ukraine, while others question the country’s role in the conflict.

The news of the UK’s shift in stance comes as tensions continue to escalate in the region, with reports of increased military activity and clashes between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the world will be watching to see how the UK’s new stance will impact negotiations and the broader conflict in the region.
