the russian president, Vladimir Putin has the “political space” to end the invasion of Ukrainepartly thanks to censorship in place in Russia, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday.

“Given the tremendous Russian support for what he is doing, given the apparent lack of attention in the Russian media to what is really going on in Ukraine, the paradox is that Putin has much more political space to back down. [y] pull out”Johnson to TalkTV.

Russia claims the invasion of Ukraine is a “military operation” and threatens jail to anyone presenting a different version of events.

As a result, Putin could tell the Russian people that the operation launched in Ukraine is “complete,” “technically [ha sido] Exit”, explained Johnson.

Russia has repeatedly warned against this the possibility of fighting in Ukraine escalating into a nuclear conflictwhile the West continues to send arms to Ukraine.

“People say that we have to make a concession, that we have to worry about what Putin might do about the risk of his defeat.”he continued.

“I think he has a lot of space, he has a lot of scope,” concluded the British leaders.

When asked if he expected Putin to consider using tactical nuclear weapons if he suffered further military failures in Ukraine, he said he didn’t think that would happen.
