Boris Johnson: Ukraine Is a Very Rich Country, They Will Be Able to Pay Back the Costs of Their Defense

TRANSCRIPT:

JOHNSON: "I think when it comes to funding the whole thing, well, there is this $300 billion, the frozen Russian assets. Why on earth haven’t we liberated those and started to use them for the protection of Ukraine? In the long run, Ukraine’s actually a very rich country, with enormous potential, and they will be able to pay back the costs of their defense, just as we did for decades after the Second World War."
