Johnson: Russia sanctions should stay until troops leave

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Western nations shouldn’t lift sanctions on Russia until all Moscow’s troops have left Ukraine. Johnson said a cease fire would not be enough, and the G-7 should “intensify sanctions with a rolling program until every single one of troops is out of Ukraine.” Speaking to a committee of British lawmakers on Wednesday, Johnson also said Britain was discussing “going up a gear” in support to help Ukraine defend itself. He said sending armored personnel carriers was something the U.K. was “looking at.” The U.K. has sent anti-tank weapons and other military equipment to Ukraine but wants to avoid anything that could be seen as escalating the conflict.
