Only in 2018 did he start to backtrack on his mendacity

Johnson is - and always has been - a repeated liar who will say anything for money, power, and to further his own interests. And he has been repeatedly sacked for this dreadful behavior, most recently by the Cons.

You see, I knew you wanted to

His comments were pretty vague at the time. Yes they were interpreted by The "Independent" as Putin apology, but let's face it that rag wouldn't have an unbiased opinion on anything vaguely related to Brexit - and I'm saying that as someone who thought Brexit a generally dumb idea. Johnson quickly refuted the interpretation (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...er-being-bran/). Another interpretation would be that the EU had no coordinated or effective defence response to the Crimea annexation - which given where we are today seems pretty accurate. Even now, with war raging on its borders, it does struggle to present a united front.

Boris is an opportunistic chancer who blows with the wind on many topics, but his position on Ukraine has been consistent.
