Returning to Normandy format is unacceptable: Boris Johnson on Scholz-Putin talks

Johnson wrote about this on X.

“I am afraid Volodymyr Zelenskyy is completely right. We risk drifting back to the ghastly Franco German Normandy format which treated Russia and Ukraine as equally valid interlocutors in a domestic squabble,” Johnson wrote.

He emphasized that he considers this "a shameful betrayal of the reality - that Putin has launched a criminal and unjustifiable invasion while Ukraine is an entirely innocent party.”

Johnson emphasized that the only way to end this war is to massively and quickly strengthen Ukraine's position.

• On November 15, the German government's press service reported that Scholz and Putin had held their first talks in two years. The German Chancellor called on the Russian dictator to withdraw his troops from Ukraine.
• President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's call to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. In his opinion, such conversations make no sense.
