    He also describes his conversation with Putin regarding Nato and Ukraine's plans to join the alliance. During his tenure as prime minister, and since leaving office, Johnson has remained one of the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s biggest supporters, visiting Kyiv since his resignation.

    That the problem, even if he's telling the truth it's hard to believe because of his track record. 🤷‍♂

      @Nige it's nonsense because if russia launched missiles it would've been on the radars and whatnot. Everybody would know about it. So that couldn't ever happen as a result. Which is why threatening is pointless and only harms your character. The most plausible thing is assassination threat because russia has been doing this forever and very successful at that might I mention.

    Boris is as handsome as ever. During the conversation with Putin, three people were sitting in his office. And they listened attentively. The text of the conversation was specially chosen ambiguous. So that in English it sounds like a threat, and in Russian it sounds like a misunderstanding. By the way, the Kremlin is very afraid of strong politicians ...))))))

    The information published on the U.K. government website is as follows :
    PM call with President Putin of Russia: 2 February 2022
    The Prime Minister spoke to Russian President Putin this afternoon.
    The Prime Minister expressed his deep concern about Russia’s current hostile activity on the Ukrainian border. He emphasised the need to find a way forward which respects both Ukraine’s territorial integrity and right to self-defence. The Prime Minister stressed that any further Russian incursion into Ukrainian territory would be a tragic miscalculation.
    The Prime Minister underscored that, under NATO’s open door policy, all European democracies have a right to aspire to NATO membership. This right fully applies to Ukraine. He also reiterated that NATO is a defensive alliance.
    The leaders agreed that aggravation was in no one’s interest. The Prime Minister stressed the importance of dialogue and diplomacy, and the need to include Ukraine in talks.
    The Prime Minister and President Putin welcomed communication between the UK and Russia on a number of important issues including climate change, the situation in Afghanistan and the Iran nuclear deal. They agreed to apply this spirit of dialogue to the current tensions in order to find a peaceful resolution.

    It appears rightly or wrongly that Putin felt immensely threatened by NATO and I imagine the advancement of the EU towards the East. It's seems if Zelensky could negiotate with Putin for the sake of peace and make Ukraine a neutral country maybe there could be a reduction in conflict in that region.
