In a message to European Countries who depend heavily on Russian gas, Johnson said that he believes Russian President Vladimir might be serious about restricting supplies from pipelines that run through Eastern Europe, should the West announce its intention to defend Ukraine.
In a speech he gave during a party last night held by the mayor of the London neighbourhood, Johnson accused Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, Russia's ally, of trying to fuel the migrant crisis at the border with Poland, as an attempt to undermine European unity.
Furthermore, Johnson expressed hopes that European allies realise that soon they'll have to choose between incorporating more Russian hydrocarbons into giant new pipelines or commit to helping Ukraine and stand for peace and stability.
