Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson says that the UK and its allies should deploy non-combat troops to Ukraine right now, to "flip a switch" in Russian President Vladimir Putin's head.
Speaking exclusively to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg alongside the former head of the military, Adm Sir Tony Radakin, Johnson said troops should be sent to peaceful regions in non-fighting roles.
He said: "If we can have a plan for boots on the ground after the war, after Putin has condescended to have a ceasefire, then why not do it now?"
The UK government is currently working with its allies to plan a "coalition of the willing" to provide forces to preserve peace and stability in Ukraine, but only if there is a deal to end the war.
Speaking just days before the fourth anniversary of the war, Johnson, who was prime minister at the time of the invasion, also said the conflict could have been prevented if Western allies had paid more attention to Putin's increasing aggression and his annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Johnson and Sir Tony recounted the moment when Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, and the early days of the war, when the decision to support President Volodymyr Zelensky was made.
Despite extensive UK support, they agreed that Western allies had been too slow and cautious in providing support to Ukraine.
In the past four years, allies have often taken months to agree to sending the weapons that President Zelensky has requested.

“Social workers?”
A friendly reminder under Boris the biggest waves of illegals entered the UK
AGREEMENT

No person who received military training who lacked either RF or Ukrainian citizenship in 2020 shall be present, permitted or suffered to be in any place that was under the control of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1989
....
Boris The Global Warming Freak Johnson
Then what do you do if they are killed, intentionally or not, in combat. Would that be an Article V under the NATO treaty requiring all members to go to war against Russia? Because that’s the usual purpose for tripwire troops like those in West Berlin during the Cold War.
M I S T A K E !!
The term, “sitting ducks,” was the first thing that came to mind.
“A friendly reminder under Boris the biggest waves of illegals entered the UK”
Most modern era colonialists entered by legal means.
No because the UK was not attacked by Russia, in this scenario they decided to intervene to assist Ukraine.
Ask Israel about hostages.
They must have been snatched by irregulars....
Translation: The UK wants the US to send troops to Ukraine.
Hard pass.
Boris is one of the reasons this death and destruction rages on.
Stay out of this, Boris. Ukraine is a problem, but you’re not the answer. You had your opportunity to shape your nation. You helped to distort it with porous borders.
> “Social workers?” <
Or a deliberate trip-wire.
No good can from Johnson’s stupid suggestion.
“A Russian missile hit our non-combat UK troops. We must respond!”
Yes, it might have been a Russian missile. Or a false-flag MI6 missile.
Many possibilities here.
Disclaimer: I’m neutral in this Ukraine/Russia conflict.
“The UK government is currently working with its allies to plan a “coalition of the willing” to provide forces to preserve peace and stability in Ukraine, but only if there is a deal to end the war.”
OK, now that’s funny.
He’s playing pretty loose with American lives since if boots on the ground in Ukraine ever happens most of them will be American.
The old “they’re not soldiers, they are advisors” ploy.
Why does Boris think non combat troops would be safe in Ukraine? Good way to get them killed.
