Boris Johnson called on #Russia to “let #Ukraine go if it loves it” : “Russia’s problem is that it cannot let go of its empire. The British had the largest empire the world had ever seen. At one point, it was about seven times the size of the Roman Empire. And we gave it up. Russia needs to let Ukraine go. 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 let Ukraine go.
