Boris Johnson launches scathing attack on Putin's 'barbaric' tactics in Ukraine
01.03.2022 - 14:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Boris Johnson has condemned President Vladimir Putin with his "strongest remarks yet" as the conflict continues in Ukraine.
Speaking in Warsaw, the Prime Minister said Mr Putin was using "barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent civilians".
He added that the Russian president has "fatally underestimated" the resistance of the Ukrainian people and the resolve of the West to act while paying tribute to the "leadership and courage" of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Vladimir Putin is prepared to use barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent civilians, to bomb tower blocks, to send missiles into tower blocks to kill children," Mr Johnson said.
Some have referred to Mr Johnson's comments as his "strongest remarks yet" against Mr Putin.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said the Polish government and people were doing an "amazing job, an inspirational job" in addressing the humanitarian crisis resulting from the conflict.
He added: "We in the UK stand ready to help you, we have humanitarian supplies already coming in – I think two planes of medical supplies have already landed, there is more to come."
It comes as the British government faces increasing pressure from Tory and opposition MPs to implement more measures in taking in Ukrainian refugees.
But the Prime Minister has hinted at a new resettling scheme by working with Polan to help refugees, instead of having them claim asylum in the UK.
Mr Johnson told his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki: “We stand ready, clearly, to take Ukrainian refugees in our own country, working with you, in considerable numbers, as we always have done and always will.”
