British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday said Russian President Vladimir Putin has “crossed the red line into barbarism,” as he and other NATO allies entered a high-stakes meeting focused on Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The British prime minister said Russia should be hit with additional sanctions as a consequence for the invasion, emphasizing that more penalties could help end the conflict at a quicker pace.
“Vladimir Putin has already crossed the red line into barbarism,” Johnson told reporters as he arrived in Brussels to participate in a meeting of NATO country leaders, according to Reuters.
He said western allies have to “tighten the vice” in sanctions against Russia to end Moscow’s attack.
“It is very important we work together to get this thing done. The harder our sanctions … the more we can do to help Ukraine … the faster this thing can be over,” Johnson said.
