This week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will seek to mobilize a harsh response from allies to the crisis in Ukraine, as Russia is accused of massacring civilians, with scenes that look like a “horror movie.” On his 73rd birthday, Johnson will hail NATO as the “largest security alliance in the history of the world” – adding that he has a responsibility to support Ukrainians as they fight for freedom with “all their might”. The prime minister condemned Russia’s “horrific attacks” on civilians in Irpin and Bukha, adding that “we will not rest until justice is done.” The Russian Defense Ministry said that photos and videos released by Ukrainian authorities claiming that “crime” troops in Bucha were a “provocation” and that no Bucha residents had been abused by Russians. Johnson said “no denial or misinformation from the Kremlin” can hide the fact that President Vladimir Putin is “desperate” and “his invasion fails.”
