In late March 2022, as [[Ukraine]] and [[Russia]] neared conclusion of a ceasefire on Russia's [[Special Military Operation]] to end the [[Donbas war|Donbas conflict]] under terms largely along the lines of the [[Minsk Accords]] with the issues of the [[Donetsk Peoples Republic]], the [[Luhansk Peoples Republic]], and [[Crimea]] off the table, Johnson rushed to [[Kyiv]] and convinced Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] not to accept the deal in exchange for promises of [[NATO]] aid to fight the Russians.  Two months later, after thousands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine troops were ground down on the battlefield along with their NATO weapons, talk of resuming ceasefire negotiations was now encouraged by Western leaders. The [[Kremlin]] announced that the status of the [[Kherson Republic]] and [[Zaporozhye Republic]] would be off the table as well, if negotiations were to resume.

While the Prime Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and Romania urged Ukrainian dictator [[Vladimir Zelensky]] to pursue a negotiated settlement with Russia and end the slaughter of Ukrainian troops in a hopeless cause, Johnson urged Zelensky to continue the war and keep the gravy train of $53 billion in U.S. aid flowing.
