Mr Johnson said non-combat forces should be stationed in peaceful regions to send a firm message to Russian president Vladimir Putin otherwise the Russian leader would “keep going” with the conflict.

"Oh shit, some non-combat western troops are stationed in non-combat regions of Ukraine. Better retreat from Ukraine immediately!" - Putin
