Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has strongly criticized Donald Trump over the former U.S. president’s claim that Ukraine was responsible for starting the war with Russia. Johnson dismissed the assertion as “completely absurd” and accused Trump of distorting historical facts.
Speaking at a political event, Johnson stated, “This is not just a misinterpretation of events; it is a dangerous and irresponsible falsehood that undermines the reality of Russia’s aggression.” He emphasized that the war was initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin and that Ukraine has been the victim of an unprovoked invasion.
Trump’s remarks have sparked widespread backlash from political leaders and foreign policy experts. Many argue that such claims play into Russian propaganda and weaken Western support for Ukraine.
Opposition parties have echoed Johnson’s concerns, with a senior political figure stating, “Spreading misinformation of this scale is deeply troubling. The global community must stand firmly against these false narratives.”
Political analysts note that these comments may further strain relations between Western leaders and Trump, particularly as he remains a prominent figure in U.S. politics.
