As it is for Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's war in Ukraine carries significant personal and policy import.
For Putin, the war is a figurative and literal shot for destiny. The Russian president wants to subjugate Ukraine under a restored, greater Russia.
Until 2021, Johnson was viewed positively in the Kremlin. In 2017, Johnson visited Moscow while serving as Foreign Secretary. The former mayor of London had also declared that he was a"Russophile, a committed Russophile." Becoming the prime minister in 2019, Johnson continued the Conservative Party's embrace of Russian finance in London.
