Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Putin threatened to kill him with a missile
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 – a longstanding concern of the Russian leader – and warning invasion would bring “massive” Western sanctions.
Johnson says that Putin “threatened me at one point and said, ‘Boris, I don’t want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute’, or something like that.” Percy said Monday that she did not think Putin was making a direct threat but “it was a reminder that he could do it, and should remember that when he is dealing with him.”
