British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the “mixed signals” are coming from Russia, with indications of more Russian military preparations showing up in intelligence at the same time as Moscow announces a partial withdrawal of Russian forces lined up on the Russian-Ukrainian border and their readiness to do so. negotiate.
Johnson, who chaired a meeting of the British government’s Special Development Advisory Council (COBRA) on Tuesday, said in a statement after the meeting that “Monday to Tuesday” showed signs of diplomatic openness and a willingness to negotiate on the part of Russia.
At the same time, the newly received intelligence data is still not satisfactory: these reports indicate, among other things, that Russian camp hospitals are being built near the Ukrainian borders and in Belarus, and that the invasion can be inferred from this. In addition, some units of the Russian armed forces have approached the Ukrainian border, the British Prime Minister said.
According to Johnson, these are mixed signals, and this also justifies tough and standardized Western action, especially with regard to economic sanctions.
He said about the sanctions planned by the British government in the event of the Russian invasion: These sanctions mainly target some Russian banks and companies. In addition, the objectives include the exploration of Russian-owned properties accumulating in London and other major British cities, as well as Russian stakes in British companies.
Boris Johnson said after the Cobra meeting on Tuesday that the British government would also take steps to prevent Russian companies from raising capital in the London financial center as part of preparations for the invasion of Ukraine.
The British prime minister says it is a “very difficult set of sanctions” and is ready to impose them if “Russia proves so reckless and irresponsible” that it launched an invasion of Ukraine.
Johnson said the British government, given the balance of risks for each factor, had decided to keep the British Embassy in Kiev open. The British prime minister said London knew there were risks to this, but said the continued work of the British Embassy in Kiev was also an important symbol of British support for Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the day before that the US would temporarily move its embassy from Kiev to western Ukraine.
