London: Prime Minister of Britain boris johnson has drawn up a six-point plan to ensure the defeat of Russia in the ongoing war in UkraineThe media reported on Sunday.
Writing in The New York Times, the prime minister said that “(Russian President Vladimir) Putin must fail and be seen failing in this act of aggression”, the BBC reported.
“It is not enough to express our support for a rules-based international order – we must defend it against a continued attempt to rewrite the rules by military force.”
Referring to his six-point plan to keep pressure on the Russian leader, the prime minister said world leaders should mobilize an “international humanitarian alliance” for Ukraine; They should also support Ukraine “in its efforts to provide self-defense”; economic pressure on Russia should be increased; The international community must oppose the “creeping generalization” of Russia’s own actions in Ukraine; Diplomatic resolutions for war should be pursued, but only with the full participation of the legitimate government of Ukraine; And there should be “intensified campaigns to strengthen security and resilience” among NATO countries.
Johnson’s “plan” comes ahead of his meetings with Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte Downing Street on Monday.
According to Downing Street, on Tuesday he will host the leaders of the V4 group of Central European countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told the Sunday Telegraph that Putin should not “test” Britain.
“History has undermined the wider West and the UK with authoritarian leaders. He (Putin) clearly underestimated the international community.
“If we stay together and refuse to be intimidated, I believe he will fail,” Wallace was quoted as saying.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February, was condemned by 141 countries at the UN General Assembly this week, while 39 countries, coordinated by the UK, made the largest referral ever for war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
