British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday urged the EU to use the two sides' newfound spirit of cooperation over Ukraine to unblock tortured talks about post-Brexit trade in Northern Ireland.
At a meeting in London with Irish premier Micheal Martin, Johnson said that Brussels still needed to make "significant changes" to the so-called Northern Ireland Protocol, according to a Downing Street statement.
They say the pact, agreed as part of Britain's divorce from the EU to maintain peace in Northern Ireland, has cast it adrift politically from the rest of the UK. He and Martin agreed "on the vital importance of continued unity in the face of Russian aggression" in Ukraine for aid, military support and further sanctions against Moscow, the statement added.
"The protocol is working in terms of inward investment into Northern Ireland, and in terms of access to the EU single market," Martin said.
