An EU expert told me that Johnson “probably” had been invited and that he was “definitely under discussion” until he was uninvited last weekend, foolishly comparing the Ukrainian people’s struggle to Brexit. This angered EU leaders, who canceled plans to invite him. “Loose and offensive,” said one EU diplomat, noting that Ukraine wants to join – not leave – the EU. “How many people have died because of Brexit?” asked Petro Poroshenko, former President of Ukraine.
