		</div><p>The German government has rejected former British prime minister Boris Johnson’s claim that Berlin initially wanted Ukraine to quickly “fold” following Russia’s invasion in February.</p>
<p>CNN Portugal quoted Mr Johnson as saying on Monday that “the German view was at one stage that if it were going to happen, which would be a disaster, then it would be better for the whole thing to be over quickly, and for Ukraine to fold”.</p>
<p>The network reported that Mr Johnson claimed Germany had “all sorts of sound economic reasons” for that stance.</p>
<p>German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said that he was “tempted to switch to English and say it’s ‘utter nonsense’ what Boris Johnson said”.</p>
<p>He added: “We know that the very entertaining former prime minister always has his own relationship with the truth,” and cited Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s strong defence of Ukraine in a speech to the German parliament on February 27, three days after the war started.</p>
<p>&#8220;As such, I think the facts speak against the insinuation I heard in this interview,” Mr Hebestreit said.</p>
