British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hopes to have a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week, TASS reports citing a spokesman for the British Prime Minister’s Office.
According to her, Johnson “is determined to step up diplomatic efforts and build up forces and deterrents to avoid bloodshed in Europe.” “When he speaks with President Putin next week, he will stress the need for Russia to step back and engage in diplomatic dialogue,” the spokeswoman said.
At the same time, it became known that the British Prime Minister this weekend will discuss options for weakening the allegedly existing “Russian aggression” in Eastern Europe, including through the deployment and strengthening of NATO’s defense capabilities.
“The senior military leadership has developed a number of options to deter Russian aggression in the region, including the transfer of equipment and personnel and the strengthening of the NATO defense system. The Prime Minister will consider these options this week,” PRIME quoted a source in British government circles.
Meanwhile, the UK Foreign Office is set to announce on Monday that it is tightening sanctions against Russia. “The Foreign Office will announce on Monday in Parliament the tightening of the sanctions regime so that the UK can target Russia’s strategic and financial interests,” a TASS source said.
Recall that back in November-December last year, the world media was filled with the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine. Among the likely sanctions are both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as well as restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT international interbank settlement system.
