THE Kremlin has branded Boris Johnson an idiot who should be shut away in a psychiatric hospital.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Vladimir Putin’s security council, hit back at the former Prime Minister’s criticism of Nato delays in admitting Ukraine.
The Kremlin has branded former Prime Minister Boris Johnson an idiot
Johnson, writing in the Daily Mail, accused the West of ‘vacillation’ and ‘sucking-and-blowing-at-once’ in its handling of Putin over recent years
The former president said; “He, a retired idiot, should be admitted to a psychiatric clinic without conditions. There he would be able to play a cool guy demanding to start the Third World War.”
Meanwhile, a convoy carrying Wagner mercenaries was seen entering Belarus from Russia yesterday as the country’s defence ministry said it planned joint military drills with them.
Johnson, writing in the Daily Mail, accused the West of “vacillation” and “sucking-and-blowing-at-once” in its handling of Putin over two decades.
He bemoaned the failure at this week’s summit in Vilnius, Lithuanian to go further than what was hammered out in 2005 on Ukraine’s path to NATO membership.
“All the Ukrainians got this week was an ‘invitation’ to join NATO, ’when allies are agreed and when conditions are met’,” he said.
“No wonder President Zelensky found it hard, at first, to conceal his frustration.”
The Ukrainians should have been told that their accession would happen “as soon as the war was over”, potentially from next year.
He exempted Rishi Sunak from blame, stressing “the reluctance does not lie in London”.
Some other Western leaders mistakenly believe NATO membership could be bartered as part of a future peace deal with Putin over the war, he said.
“That is madness,” wrote Johnson.
“Throughout this war there has been a Western tendency to make the same mistake, over and over again: to overestimate Putin, and to underestimate Ukraine.”
