London (Britain) – Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to personally target Boris Johnson with a missile attack just before ordering Russian forces into Ukraine, the former UK Prime Minister claimed. The apparent threat came on a phone conversation just ahead of the invasion on 24^th February, according to a new BBC documentary. “He threatened me at one point, and he said, ‘Boris, I don’t want to hurt you but, with a missile, it would only take a minute’ or something like that”, Johnson quoted Putin as saying. Boris Johnson was the then Prime Minister of the UK from 2019 to 2022.
