Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says a German government official told him before Russia’s full-scale invasion that it would be better if Ukraine lost quickly so it would all be over. Johnson recalled the official saying: “If it has to happen, it would be better if it happened quickly and the Ukrainians lost. And it was all over.” He said the episode reflected Berlin and Paris’s failed strategy toward Russia after Crimea.
