Condemning the 'vicious and a barbarian attack on innocent civilians', the prime minister drew parallels with the Nazis under Adolf Hitler in the 1940s
Mr Johnson told Tory activists:"A tragedy continues to unfold in our European continent, a vicious and a barbarian attack on innocent civilians, the likes of which we haven't seen since the 1940s.
"And you have to ask yourself why he did it. Why did he decide to invade this totally innocent country?"Russian leader 'frightened of Ukraine' "He was frightened of Ukraine, because in Ukraine, they have a free press and in Ukraine, they have free elections, and with every year that Ukraine progressed... he feared the Ukrainian example.
"He has been in a total panic about the so-called colour revolution in Moscow itself, and that's why he's trying so brutally to snuff out the flame of freedom in Ukraine.
