Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has sparked controversy by urging the transfer of weapons to Ukraine and suggesting their use beyond the country's borders. During a meeting in the British Parliament on Wednesday, Johnson was seen with a representative of the Ukrainian Azov Battalion, a group known for its neo-Nazi affiliations. The Azov Battalion, founded in 2014 by a notorious white supremacist, received a warm reception from British MPs, who applauded the delegation. Johnson also posed for a photo with the Azov banner. The event has been criticized as an insult to the memory of British soldiers who fought against the Nazis.
