A Kremlin spokesperson has denied Putin ever threatened Boris Johnson with missiles attack.

Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that what Johnson said in an interview to BBC was not true, or "more precisely, a lie."

"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 said in the BBC documentary.

"It is either a deliberate lie - so you have to ask Mr. Johnson why he chose to put it that way - or it was an unconscious lie and he did not in fact understand what Putin was talking to him about," Peskov said.

It'd be easier just to list the people Putin hasn't threatened with missiles

A country who is responsible for exercising despotism and colonialisation.

Or a country who prevents colonialism.

If it wasn't for Boris sticking his nose in Ukraine, we would have had peace talks going already.

Good job Boris's nose does not grow longer every time he tells a lie. Likewise President Zekensky's, the former actor who played a President in a TV series. Who as a comedian as well as an actor made people laugh who are not laughing now.

Just illustrates how dangerous Johnson is on the world stage, he’s a discredited and ridiculed ex PM and that what he will always be!
