Embassy: Johnson’s words about Putin’s “threats” lead to an escalation in Europe

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s statement that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly threatened him with a missile attack, as well as calls from British politicians to “meet Russia face to face” lead to further escalation in Europe. This was stated at the Russian Embassy in London, transmits “RIA News”.

“We would like to emphasize that these and similar statements, including the arguments made today by the head of the House of Commons Defense Committee Tobias Ellwood about the need to “meet Russia face to face”, lead only to a further escalation of acute military-political tensions on the European continent and deepening confrontation , in which the UK is drawn more and more every day, ”they said.

The embassy also noted that Johnson’s voicing of “rocket horror stories” does not leave the ex-premier with a chance to return to “big” British politics.

Earlier it became known that Johnson, in a BBC documentary, spoke about an “extraordinary” conversation with Putin in February 2022, before the start of the NWO, during which the Russian president allegedly hinted at the possibility of using a missile strike.

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov named these words are lies. The conversation was about the threat of a missile attack on Moscow in the event that Ukraine joins NATO and deploys NATO or American missiles on its territory. Johnson also noted in this film that he had warned the Russian leader that the West would impose “tougher sanctions” if Russian troops entered Ukraine. In February 2022, Johnson also said that such actions would only strengthen Western support for Ukraine and lead to NATO expansion near the borders of the Russian Federation.

Russia’s special operation in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin called the protection of the inhabitants of Donbass, as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, its goals. During the special operation, Russian troops took full control of the LPR, as well as most of the DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Subsequently, these territories became part of Russia.
