Boris Johnson says UK will never recognise annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russia
Boris Johnson told the international Crimea Platform conference that the UK will never recognise the annexation of the peninsula, or other parts of Ukraine.

Johnson said that Crimea “duly became the launch pad for the invasion of the 25th of February” after being used as an “armed camp” since 2014.
