According to Corriere Della Sera’s sources, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has offered to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the formation of a new international alliance against Russia.
According to the newspaper, London recommends forming a “new political, economic, and military alliance” to replace the EU, which would bring together nations displeased with Brussels’ stance and Germany’s moves against Moscow.
“The Prime Minister first presented the initiative to Volodymyr Zelensky when the Ukrainian president received him in Kyiv on April 9. The Boris Johnson model involves the creation of a European community led by the United Kingdom. In addition to Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, it could also include Turkey later… Johnson proposes an alliance of states that zealously defend national sovereignty, stand for a free economy, and are ready to take the toughest possible stance against the Russian military threat,” the article says.
The newspaper claims that Kyiv has not yet expressed a position on the proposal of the British leader. As the newspaper notes, Zelensky is probably waiting for the summit of the EU countries, which will decide on the recognition of Ukraine as a candidate for membership in the organization. The verdict of the European leaders may influence the further steps of Kyiv, the author stressed.
