Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin.
URA-Inform reports this with reference to Delfi.
The former head of the British government believes that the most important thing now is to convey to Putin that Russia is no longer an empire. He called on him to abandon imperial ambitions.
“You know, we once had an empire, it's true. It was seven times bigger than the Roman Empire. It was the largest empire in the history of the world. Today, there is practically nothing left of it” But we are happy with our post-imperialist role,” Boris Johnson noted.
He stressed that there is no need to control other countries, and “if you love someone, let them go.”
“What Putin is doing is archaic and barbaric, and he must understand that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania – none of these countries are part of the Russian empire anymore, and the same goes for Ukraine. It's all over,” — Johnson spoke emotionally.
According to him, there is no point in clinging to the old and reviving what happened once, because civilization is constantly moving forward and there is no turning back.
“There is no more empire, Vladimir. You are a bloody idiot!” Boris Johnson could not restrain himself.
After that, he immediately apologized for swearing, but at the same time stated that “that is how it is.”
Recall that earlier it was reported that “We need to urgently stop the “SVO”: the former “people's governor” of Donbass called for peace.
