Boris Johnson Says Trump Could 'Be The Guy' To Force Putin To End Ukraine War
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed on Sky News that US President Donald Trump could be the person to pressure Vladimir Putin into ending the war in Ukraine, despite Trump's inconsistent stance on the conflict. Johnson, a vocal Ukraine supporter, argued paradoxically that Trump's willingness to take tough foreign policy actions—such as joining Israel in strikes on Iran earlier this year—could be leveraged against Putin. The article notes that the war entered its fifth year in February 2025, and that Trump previously kicked Ukrainian President Zelenskyy out of the White House after his team said Kyiv did not 'hold any cards.' The US has oscillated between pushing Ukraine to cede land for peace and supporting its fight. Johnson acknowledged that Washington has not declared Ukraine's freedom and sovereignty a strategic objective, nor advocated for NATO membership, but said Trump is 'very good at listening' when Johnson advocates for Ukraine.
