Johnson: UK 'can be extremely proud' UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has defended his country's role in Afghanistan, but insisted there was no military solution to the Taliban's rapid advance. "It is very difficult obviously, but I think the UK can be extremely proud of what has been done in Afghanistan over the last 20 years," he said, noting that the "vast bulk" of the remaining British embassy staff in Kabul would return to the UK. "I think we've got to be realistic about the abilities of the the UK or any power to impose a military solution, a combat solution in Afghanistan," he continued. He added that government officials were being sent to help speed up attempts to find Afghans who had worked with the British army.
