The former British Prime Minister said Putin threatened to kill him with a missile last year for supporting Ukraine.

He claimed Putin made the threat in a telephone conversation he described as “extraordinary” following his visit to Kyiv to show support for Ukraine amid growing fears of a Russian invasion.NYSC portal

In a report by The Mirror on Monday, Johnson said Putin told him on the phone, “I don’t want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute.
“He said, ‘Boris, you say that Ukraine is not going to join NATO any time soon. […] What is any time soon?’ and I said ‘Well it’s not going to join NATO for the foreseeable future. You know that perfectively well,’” Johnson said of the call with Putin.
“He sort of 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,” Johnson said.
“I think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate.”JAMB Result
