Speaking at a conservative event in Canada, Mr Johnson also warned Donald Trump and Republicans in the US against appeasing Vladimir Putin.

Boris Johnson has called for Ukraine to be allowed to join Nato and be given the right tools for its fight against Russia.

“The resolution to this problem is the security and the stability that comes with certainty about where Ukraine is and what Ukraine is,” he told an event at the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference in Ottawa, where he appeared alongside former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott. He described Ukraine as a “formidable fighting force” and said they have often been supplied with “the right stuff at the wrong time, in other words, too late”.“They have shown they are a proud, independent nation and they are going to fight for freedom. What we need to do is keep supporting Ukraine, keep supporting freedom.”

Mr Johnson warned Donald Trump, who hopes to return to the White House following November’s US election, against a reported plan to pressure Ukraine to cede Crimea and the Donbas border region as a price for peace with Russia.
