Boris Johnson, the British Foreign Secretary, in a Twitter post, ahead of the G7 meeting, reveals that the United Kingdom will seek new sanctions against Russia due to the support Vladimir Putin provides to Bashar al-Assad.
Due to the chemical weapons attack, which resulted in numerous civilian casualties, including children, Boris Johnson requested, as he wrote in his tweet, “very strict” sanctions against Russia, and a document listing the sanctions has been prepared. In his post, he mentioned that he canceled his visit to Moscow to discuss Syria and Russian support for Assad with his G7 partners.
– It is time to confront Putin with the truth about the tyrant he persistently supports, he said in an interview with The Sun.
The Russians did not take long to respond. Again, via Twitter, the Russian Embassy in London informed G7 representatives that such ultimatums only bring all involved closer to a real war. In this context, the Russians referred to Donald Trump as a war leader and Boris Johnson as his messenger.
