Nigel Farage attacks 'hypocrite’ Boris Johnson in clash of words on Ukraine

Nigel Farage has hit back at Boris Johnson after the former prime minister accused the Reform UK leader of a “morally repugnant” repetition of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for the invasion of Ukraine.

The Reform UK leader addressed crowds in Maidstone, Kent, while on the campaign trail, saying that he would “never, ever defend” Mr Putin and that he had been “more far-sighted” in predicting a war in Ukraine.

Mr Farage, who has been criticised for saying the West “provoked” the war in Ukraine, told the crowd: “I was alone, I was the only person in 2014 who said there will be a war in Ukraine. I can’t take those words away and nor would I want to.”

The Reform UK leader went on to unveil a blown up poster of the i newspaper’s front page from May 10 2016 with the headline “Boris blames EU for war in Ukraine”.

That blubbering warhawk Boris has much to answer for; all of his own doing.

We need people like Nigel and Trump and many other to call those in Government out for their hypocrite ways, against people who what's righteous and a Government who does good not evil.

Boris is a war criminal along with Zelenskyy. Russians are constantly forcing Zelenskyy to move his depleted reserves to try to plug next hole. It's a part of a strategy of aggressive attrition. Due to a successful implementation of this strategy Ukrainian losses increased to staggering 14, 000 a week. It's simply unsustainable for Ukraine. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point and sacking them left and right. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945.
