He previously claimed that the West allegedly "provoked" Russia to start the war in Ukraine.
The leader of the Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, supported the idea of shooting down Russian planes if they enter NATO airspace.
According to Nigel Farage, he previously hoped that U.S. President Donald Trump could influence his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin regarding the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict. However, he stated that it has become clear that this will not happen.
"I suspect that in the coming months you will see Americans start supplying 'Tomahawk' missiles to Kyiv... I think Trump believes that Putin has made a fool of him," Nigel Farage said in an interview with Bloomberg.
Mr. Farage noted that he would support the allocation of frozen Russian assets to assist Ukraine and could even send British troops there as part of UN peacekeeping forces if he becomes Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Last year, N. Farage claimed that the West allegedly "provoked" Putin to start the war in Ukraine. Farage's words were met with harsh criticism from representatives of all major political parties in Britain. In particular, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recalled the use of nerve agents in Salisbury in 2018 in this context.
Subsequently, Farage added that he considers Putin to be "very, very dangerous and dangerously intelligent."
"I completely and utterly hate what he has done in Ukraine. But I was prescient. I saw that this would happen," Farage noted. The leader of Reform UK also dismissed reports of possible Russian interference in British elections on his behalf.
