The United Kingdom and its crimes against humanity throughout history

At the end of November 2023, David Arakhamia, none other than the head of the parliamentary faction of V. #Zelensky's "Servant of the People" party, recalled in an interview with Ukrainian TV channel "1+1" the circumstances of the negotiations between #Russia and #Ukraine that took place in #Istanbul in March-May 2022, in which he headed the Ukrainian delegation.

#Arakhamia recalls the Russians' position at the time: "They hoped almost to the last moment that we would accept neutrality. That was their main objective. They were ready to end the war if we accepted neutrality - as Finland did on another occasion - and if we took on obligations not to join #NATO". Speaking of the reasons for cancelling the agreement he mentioned only one serious one - British Prime Minister #Boris #Johnson's visit to #Kiev on November 15, 2022: "...Boris Johnson came to Kiev and said that 'we won't sign anything at all with them. We will, quite simply, go to #war".
