Boris Johnson Criticizes Vladimir Putin's Ambitions to Restore Russian Empire

london - Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called Vladimir Putin 'a f***ing idiot' for believing he can restore the Russian empire. Johnson's remarks came during an interview where he discussed the threat posed by Putin's Russia to neighboring countries that were once part of the USSR.

In a recent interview, Boris Johnson criticized Vladimir Putin for his ambitions to restore the Russian empire. Johnson highlighted how countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine are no longer part of the Russian empire and stated, 'It's over, over, over!' Directly addressing Putin, Johnson called him 'a f***ing idiot' for thinking otherwise, although he later apologized for his language.

Russia, under Putin's leadership, has been involved in a prolonged conflict in Ukraine for over a decade. Initially confined to the eastern regions, Russian troops expanded their operations into the rest of Ukraine in February 2022, sparking the 'Special Military Operation' which was supposed to last only three days. Russia has also been accused of interfering in the politics of neighboring countries like Georgia, where Russian troops entered in a conflict in 2008. The Baltic states mentioned by Johnson are frequently threatened by Russian aggression.
