Boris Johnson Urges Immediate Deployment of Non-Combat Troops to Ukraine

• Former UK PM Boris Johnson calls for Britain and allies to deploy non-combat troops to Ukraine now to change Putin's mindset.
• Johnson suggests troops could be stationed in peaceful regions in non-fighting roles, even before a ceasefire.
• This proposal goes beyond the current UK position, which plans for deployment only after a formal peace deal.
• Johnson and Adm Sir Tony Radakin criticized Western allies for being too slow and cautious in supplying weapons, leading to delays and loss of life.
• Johnson argues that Western failures, including inaction on Crimea in 2014, emboldened Putin, and that Putin needs to see strong Western determination for Ukrainian independence.
