Boris Johnson today warned it would be a 'disaster for the world' if Russia invades Ukraine as the nation's president slapped down Joe Biden for 'green-lighting' an attack with his 'minor incursion' gaffe.
The UK Prime Minister said 'any kind of incursion, on any scale' would be 'a disaster not just for Ukraine but for Russia' as NATO allies try to dissuade Vladimir Putin from launching an attack the Pentagon warns is 'imminent'.
Johnson's remark came after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky slapped down the US president after he appeared to suggest that a 'minor incursion' by Moscow might elicit a lesser response than a full-scale invasion.
Zelensky denounced Biden for 'green-lighting' an attack on the country with the remarks, warning that there was no such as thing as a 'minor incursion'.
'We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones,' Zelensky wrote on Twitter.
Biden, speaking at a White House press conference yesterday where Russia came up repeatedly, had said: 'It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.
'But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia,' he added.
The president's comment prompted a cleanup from the White House on Wednesday night - a task Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Vice President Kamala Harris carried forward in Thursday morning TV interviews - and saw the US press heavily criticise Biden over his press conference.

Absolutely...what a pinhead he has become.
The population control people would be happy.
Biden sells out his buddies in the Ukraine:
Biden on Russia invading Ukraine: “It depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion...”

Ukraine funneled millions to Biden’s crackhead son, peddled collusion lies against Trump in 2016, and got Trump impeached over a phone call. And what did Ukraine get in return for all that money and meddling? Biden handing Ukraine to Putin during a press conference.

Guys Biden said the grocery stores aren’t empty and out of food, so clearly that’s correct, your eyes deceive you.

Joe Biden says he’s outperformed what anyone thought was possible in his first year in office. Really. He just said this.

Biden is the actual embarrassment the media spent four years claiming Trump was.
.... My .... How Time's have changed .....
Ukraine’s Hunter cash sure bought a lot of favors with this administration.

Russia presents a great opportunity for Biden to wag the dog.
He [Biden] is wagging the dog for all he is worth right now.
He is will do everything his power to start a nuclear war with Russia. But that is what the Republican and Democrat Parties, Including Traitor in Chief Vice President Mike Pence want. They even executed a Coup to kick President Trump out of Office and replaced him with Lying and Cheating Joe Biden.
Well said! We are also set to loose Taiwan, the center of our microchip fabrication.
Putin is threatening a wide scale invasion of Ukraine, a country of 44 million people, and you think Boris is the one looking for war?
And exactly what do you think we are going to do about it. Go to war with Russia?
Boris is all talk to distract people from his foolish COVID response!
Boris sent a planeload of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine. Biden is all talk.
Boris, your Deep State helped install the POTATUS.
You knew what you were getting.
FBJ.
And he only did this to distract people from his partying and not wearing a mask while he mandated it for everyone else.
