Boris Johnson is not the President of Ukraine. He has no power to force or prevent a negotiation with Russia. Just in case you're confused, here's a link describing who the current President of Ukraine is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Ukraine

Boris Johnson didn’t allow ukraine to negotiate No, that's just a myth. Was a matter of speculation for a while, but when it got investigated, it didn't hold up. See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41812302 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41812302
