Johnson announced a freeze on the assets of all large Russian banks, as well as plans to bar Russian companies and their government from raising money through British markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><span>Britain will also ban the export to Russia of a wide range of high-tech products, including semiconductors, and prohibit the nation\u2019s flagship airline, Aeroflot, from landing at British airports,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-business-asia-europe-united-nations-8744320842fca825ae4e4ccae5acbe34\"><span>The Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span> added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShortly after 4 o\u2019clock this morning I spoke to president Zelensky of Ukraine to offer the continued support of the U.K. because our worst fears have now come true and all our warnings have proved tragically accurate,\u201d Johnson <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/politics\/boris-johnson-russia-ukraine-speech-full-b2022312.html\"><span>said in a public address.<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0\u201cPresident Putin of Russia has unleashed war in our European continent. He has attacked a friendly country without any provocation and without any credible excuse.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our mission is clear \u2013 diplomatically, politically, economically \u2013 and eventually, militarily \u2013 this hideous and barbaric venture of Vladimir Putin must end in failure. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nmFhpDrDEy\">pic.twitter.com\/nmFhpDrDEy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BorisJohnson\/status\/1496849156861800449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cInnumerable missiles and bombs have been raining down on an entirely innocent population. A vast invasion is underway by land by sea and by air,\u201d Johnson continued. \u201cAnd this is not in the infamous phrase some faraway country of which we know little. We have Ukrainian friends in this country; neighbors, co-workers. Ukraine is a country that for decades has enjoyed freedom and democracy and the right to choose its own destiny.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe \u2014 and the world \u2014 cannot allow that freedom just to be snuffed out. We cannot and will not just look away,\u201d Johnson said, before discussing actions that have been taken and will be taken in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/russia-setting-sights-on-decapitating-ukraines-government-u-s-official\/\">Russian aggression<\/a>. \u201cIt is because we have been so alarmed in recent months at the Russian intimidation that the UK became one of the first countries in Europe to send defensive weaponry to help the Ukrainians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOther allies have now done the same and we will do what more we can in the days ahead. Today in concert with our allies we will agree a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to hobble the Russian economy,\u201d Johnson announced. \u201cAnd to that end we must also collectively cease the dependence on Russian oil and gas that for too long has given Putin his grip on western politics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur mission is clear. Diplomatically, politically, economically \u2014 and eventually, militarily \u2014 this hideous and barbaric venture of Vladimir Putin must end in failure. And so I say to the people of Russia, whose president has just authorized a tidal wave of violence against a fellow Slavic people, the parents of Russian soldiers who will lose their lives. I cannot believe this is being done in your name or that you really want the pariah status it will bring to the Putin regime,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAnd I say to the Ukrainians in this moment of agony we are with you, we are praying for you and your families, and we are on your side. And if the months ahead are grim, and the flame of freedom burns low I know that it will blaze bright again in Ukraine because for all his bombs and tanks and missiles I don\u2019t believe that the Russian dictator will ever subdue the national feeling of the Ukrainians and their passionate belief that their country should be free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAnd I say to the British people and all who have heard the threats from Putin against those who stand with Ukraine we will of course do everything to keep our country safe,\u201d Johnson concluded. \u201cWe are joined in our outrage by friends and allies around the world. We will work with them \u2014 for however long it takes \u2014 to ensure that the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine is restored because this act of wanton and reckless aggression is an attack not just on Ukraine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt is an attack on democracy and freedom in East Europe and around the world. This crisis is about the right of a free, sovereign independent European people to choose their own future and that is a right that the UK will always defend,\u201d Johnson added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
