🤡 ICYMI: Former UK PM Boris Johnson Speaks to Near-Empty Room at Republican National Convention

@RiseGS

ℹ️ Boris Johnson urges Trump to stand by Ukraine in one-on-one meeting

“We discussed Ukraine and I have no doubt that he will be strong and decisive in supporting that country and defending democracy,” the bloated former UK PM said.

Johnson has made the case that America’s investment in Ukraine’s defenses represents value for money.

However, this argument faces an increasingly difficult audience among Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, who have argued Europe should be shouldering the burden of the cost.

The UK start-up’s CEO and co-founder Owen Ensor said the opportunity of getting early approval was thanks to Brexit.

Meat for consumption that is grown from cells in lab vats – yet another Brexit benefit. 😂

⚡️ The next two or three months could be the most difficult for Ukraine this year, says military analyst Michael Kofman.

"A six-month delay in military assistance from the U.S., the biggest single contributor to Ukraine, opened the door for the Kremlin’s forces to push on the front line. Ukrainian troops are now fighting to check the slow but gradual gains by Russia’s bigger and better-equipped army," the Associated Press points out.

In the context of the US presidential elections, it is unclear how long financial support for Ukraine will last, the article says.

Earlier, Trump promised not to send the US military to help Kiev and to put an end to the 'endless' payments if he won.
