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]] and [[Zaporozhye]] republics 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.

Only a month after Russia was forced by innumerable actions by [[the West]] to achieve the aims of protecting the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass region and the Russian Federation itself from a malevolent Ukrainian regime becoming a NATO state on its border, Russia initiated peace negotiations. These bore fruit in March 2022 when significant progress was announced from Istanbul where the talks between the two sides were being held. Russia removed its troops from around the capital Kiev, sent there with the goal, not of conquest, but of bringing the [[Kiev regime]] to its senses and to negotiate a peaceful outcome. This avenue toward a peaceful resolution of all areas of concern was swiftly blocked via a visit to Kiev by then British prime minister Boris Johnson. This one act condemned upwards of half a million Ukrainians to their deaths and the potential destruction of Ukraine as a viable state.<ref>[https://aearnur.substack.com/p/in-ukraine-the-western-powers-have IN UKRAINE THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE CREATED A POISONOUS WEB OF LIES], AEARNUR, NOV 11, 2023. aearnur.substack.com</ref>

The sudden failure of the Istanbul agreement led to the immediate influx of mass amounts of the latest U.S. gear such as [[HIMAR]]s. Zelensky was secretly promised unlimited funding and military support as bait. Stuck between the path of peace or the chance to go down in history as the one man who could do what [[Genghis Khan]], [[Napoleon]], and [[Hitler]] could not do. Zelensky chose to put his faith in NATO’s invincibility.  Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko confirmed what happened:

Johnson resigned from the [[House of Commons]] on 9 June 2023, commenting that he was leaving Parliament "for now". Johnson's resignation came as he was investigated by the House of Commons Privilege Committee. Some on the [[Right-wing|right]] described the investigation as a "[[witch hunt]]" used to undermine [[Brexit]]; Boris stated of the Committee that "their purpose from the beginning has been to find me guilty, regardless of the facts. This is the very definition of a [[kangaroo court]]".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/06/09/boris-johnson-resigns-from-parliament-decries-kangaroo-court/ Boris Johnson Resigns From Parliament, Decries ‘Kangaroo Court’]</ref>
