British Prime Minister Johnson , who has been at the forefront of supporting Ukraine and opposing Russia, has resorted to a "hard move" against Moscow - "seducing Russian talents."

According to reports from the British " Guardian " and Russia Today Television (RT), at the G7 summit on the 27th, Johnson publicly invited Russian scientists who were dissatisfied with their country to defect to the UK.

Johnson said that as part of the "twinning" system between British and Ukrainian universities, Ukrainian scholars can continue to conduct research in British institutions, and this proposal has also been extended to Russian scholars. He said: "For those Russian scientists and researchers who view 'Putin's violence' with dismay, and those who no longer feel safe in Russia, you should feel free to apply to come to the UK to work in a country that values ​​openness, National work for freedom and the pursuit of knowledge.”

The so-called support for researchers at risk has a budget that has been expanded to almost £10 million and will see around 130 Ukrainian academics travel to the UK and receive support.

"Britain seduces Russian talent," RT called this title. When announcing the expansion of the program, Johnson expressed his belief that it would contribute to "the prosperity of Ukraine and the United Kingdom" in the future. Science and technology "will play a decisive role in ensuring Putin's failure in Ukraine," he added.

The Guardian said that at the G7 summit in southern Germany, Johnson focused on the Ukrainian issue. While British officials said the summit saw "unprecedented unity among world leaders in long-term support for Ukraine," there was little progress on concrete action.
