Former British President Boris Johnson has claimed that Vladimir Putin threatened to kill him with a missile before Russia invaded Ukraine.
According to international media reports, Boris Johnson has accused the Russian leader of telling me in an ‘unusual’ conversation after a visit to Kyiv in February that he didn’t want to hurt you. But it would only take a minute to do that with a missile.
Boris Johnson, a key backer of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s administration just months after Russia invaded Ukraine, made the claim in a new BBC Two series showing that the war How the West manipulated the Russian leader in earlier years.
The former British prime minister also said in the series that when he visited Kyiv, he had warned Mr Putin that an attack on Ukraine would be disastrous and that if he did so, Russia would face severe Western sanctions. Restrictions will apply.
He also said that I told Putin that this escalation would only increase Western support for Ukraine, meaning that NATO numbers on Russia’s borders would not decrease.
In this regard, Boris Johnson told about a telephone conversation with Putin that Putin asked me on the call that you said that Ukraine is not going to join NATO quickly, so what do you mean by ‘quickly’? Is?
“I replied to Putin that you know very well that Ukraine will not join NATO in the near future,” he said.
He added that Putin threatened me at one point and said Boris I don’t want to harm you but it will only take a minute to do so with a missile.
Boris Johnson concluded by saying, “I think the way he was speaking to me in a very calm tone at the time suggested that he was just toying with my efforts to He was doing it to manipulate them.
On the other hand, the Kremlin spokesperson has denied this statement of the former British Prime Minister.
The spokesman says that this is a lie that Boris Johnson is telling, President Putin did not threaten him with a missile attack during the call.
