Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that President Vladimir Putin didn’t seem serious about avoiding war in the days before Russia invaded Ukraine and at one point told the British leader it would be easy to kill him with a missile.
The Kremlin denied Putin made any such threat. In a documentary released Monday, Johnson says he called Putin in February 2022 and tried to dissuade him from war, telling him Ukraine would not be joining NATO in the foreseeable future and warning invasion would bring “massive” Western sanctions.-Reuters
