The former British prime minister, in particular, is worried about a possible reduction in aid from the US after the mid-term congressional elections.
Despite the fact that Boris Johnson failed to quickly return to the post of Prime Minister of Great Britain, the politician is still going to cooperate with Western allies for maximum assistance to Ukraine in the confrontation with Russia. In particular, he plans to increase the number of visits to Washington, where he will try to strengthen bipartisan support in the US Congress. The Financial Times writes about it.
Close allies of the politician report that Johnson's failed attempt to regain his former position will not stop him from further diplomatic behind-the-scenes work. He wants to use his own authority, which he achieved during his time in Downing Street, as one of the main tools to strengthen the support of Ukraine from the West. According to them, the politician plans to spend more time in Washington to lobby for further bipartisan support of Ukraine from the US.
The Financial Times notes that Ukrainian officials were left reeling last week after a senior Republican suggested that future aid to Kyiv could be limited if the party wins the House of Representatives in November's US midterm elections. Other senior Republicans have since spoken out against cuts in financial and military support to Ukraine.
“He doesn't have an official role yet, but Boris is very concerned about the situation in Ukraine. He believes that the US and US defense spending is the best force for military success in the war, and wants to make sure that support for Ukraine does not slip away,” said an unnamed friend of Johnson's.
