Boris Johnson on Russia:

Russia's problem is that it cannot let go of its empire. The British had the greatest empire the world had ever seen. At one point it was about seven times the size of the Roman Empire - we gave it up.

The Russians should liberate Ukraine. It's like the old relationship advice: if you love someone, let them go. If they come back, they're yours. If they don't, they never were.

They need to liberate Ukraine. The age of empires is over.
