"We're in danger of a kind of ridiculous chicken and egg situation here, or a trap by ( Russian President Vladimir) Putin, whereby all these so-called security guarantees and boots on the ground, none of that becomes relevant until such a time as there is a ceasefire or armistice. And the conditions for that deployment, if we insist on a ceasefire, may never be met."
""Just get on with it," he said when asked if Europe just needs the courage to cross what is yet another of Russia's many red lines during its full-scale invasion of Ukraine which amounted to nothing. "You need something that's going to flip a switch in the Kremlin's brain and make them realise that fundamentally, strategically, this is over.

Johnson suggested EU troops would provide logistics and training.
