London. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has faced widespread criticism after comparing the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine to Brexit. This information was given by a media report on Sunday. Addressing a Conservative Party convention in Blackpool on Saturday, Johnson said, “I know that the people of this country, like the people of Ukraine, have the option to choose independence every time. Let me give you some famous recent examples.” I can give.”
“When the British people voted for Brexit in such large numbers, I can’t believe it was because they have a hostile attitude towards foreigners.”
“It’s because they want the freedom to do things differently and be able to run themselves for this country.”
But his remarks did not go down well with political figures in Britain and Europe, the BBC reported.
Gavin Barwell, who served as chief of staff to former Prime Minister Theresa May, said, “apart from the bit where voting in a free and fair referendum would risk his life by any means necessary to save his country from invasion.” It is not comparable with putting in and the strange fact that Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom to join the EU.”
Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the Defense Select Committee, said comparing the Ukrainian people’s fight against Putin’s tyranny to the British people who voted for Brexit hurts the level of state we are beginning to demonstrate. .
Calling Johnson a ‘national embarrassment’, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said, “It’s an insult to every Ukrainian to compare the referendum to women and children who ran away from Putin’s bombs. He’s no Churchill: he’s Basil Fawlty “
Meanwhile Donald Tusk, former president of the European Council on Europe, tweeted: “Boris, your words hurt Ukrainians, British and common sense.”
