Johnson will on Tuesday visit Poland and Estonia, two NATO allies bordering Russia where Britain has been stepping up military support.
Downing Street said that he had misspoken, and the spokesman had sought to clarify his comments at the briefing:"What we're talking about here clearly is how we stop Russia seeking to subjugate a democratic country. In his latest call with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday evening, Johnson praised the"heroic" resistance of Ukrainians, according to Downing Street.
"And that is the real reason why Ukraine is our neighbour today," he said, calling Russia's invasion a"colossal mistake".However, the UK government has come under strong pressure from opposition parties for its restrictive stance on refugees from Ukraine, as the European Union debates throwing open its own doors.
The opposition Labour party welcomed the concession but said it"should have happened days ago", and urged the post-Brexit government to work with its former partners in the EU on a Europe-wide approach. Downing Street and Wallace disowned remarks Sunday by Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, suggesting that British volunteers were free to travel to Ukraine and fight against Russia.
