Boris Johnson: Scholz's call to Putin indicates attempts to revive the "Normandy format"

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed concern over the first phone conversation between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin in nearly two years. Johnson said the contact could signal attempts to recreate the "Normandy format" of talks that previously included Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine.

"We risk returning to the terrible Franco-German "Normandy format", which considered Russia and Ukraine as equal interlocutors in an internal quarrel," he wrote in Kh.

Johnson considers it a "shameful betrayal of reality" and suggests instead of negotiations with Russia, "large-scale and rapid strengthening of Ukraine's position."

He also reposted Zelensky's statement, which criticized Scholz's call to Putin and called it "the opening of Pandora's box."

"I'm afraid Volodymyr Zelenskyi is absolutely right," Johnson commented.
