Boris Johnson says he had an 'extraordinary' call with President Putin before the Ukraine invasion.

Mr Johnson said President Putin had a "very relaxed tone" and an "air of detachment" during the callBoris Johnson has said Vladimir Putin threatened him with a missile strike in an "extraordinary" phone call in the run up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Mr Johnson said the comment was made after he warned the war would be an "utter catastrophe" during a "very long" call in February 2022.

He also tried to deter Russian military action by telling Mr Putin that Ukraine would not join Nato "for the foreseeable future". However, given previous Russian attacks on the UK - most recently in Salisbury in 2018 - any threat from the Russian leader, however lightly delivered, is probably one Mr Johnson would have had no choice but to take seriously.Boris Johnson received a call from President Putin the day after he met Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv

He described it as a "demonstration of bullying or strength, which is: I'm going to lie to you, you know I'm lying and I know you know I'm lying and I'm still going to lie to you.He said the "fairly chilling, but direct lie" had confirmed his belief that Russia would invade.

Evil man

Putin Should of took YOU out

He's mistaken; it was the Doctor and companions hacking into UNIT, if I recall correctly. Hey, Boris, your compression field is slipping again.

What a lot of rubbish

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I believe the Kremlin in this scenario. I wouldn't trust Johnson to tell me the time !!

🇬🇧💪🏽

Don’t go home.

Well obviously the conversation would of been recorded

That not even Putin's army they hold him hostage he's a part of the Soviet Union Vladimir Putin is Canadas ally public tv wrong buddy do your homework!!!! russia is Kentucky and a private Military Company with no right to war!!!

Why didn't it happen? Would saved UK with 2 years of hell!

Boris has sucked up to Russia against Ukraine and USA for years, getting millions of pounds.

One is a narcissistic, manipulative, lying toe rag. The other one is President of Russia. Who knows?

He is once again lying, he wants people to focus on him. He is a clown

War monger, lies lies and more lies. How about telling the truth about the corruption that went on under your watch. Worst Prime Minister in history. Sponsor Bojo to raise enough money to drive His tank to Moscow. Fat scruffy fool

Boris Lying again!!!! See the official statement issued by downing Street (Below) after the phone conversation in which Johnson claims he was threatened. If you believe him, , after reading this, then I despair. The man's got a book to sell! That's why he's lying!

Boris is the little boy who cried wolf. One day he'll need us to believe him, and we won't.

Boris the liar. Remember the boy who called wolf.....

We should get this guy out of town; we are all in danger if he sticks around.

Him !!!, all about him a , out out out !

Pity he didn’t fallow it through!!

Because Johnson doesn't lie 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Alexander Johnson couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it.

Is that how he made his million pounds giving talks, just telling lies! SoundsLikeAlex

With inflation record high, NHS almost in shambles, and country on the verge of a recession,all because of our so called leaders pumping money into a proxy war. Fix and save ur country first, you sympathy monger!!!

I think you will find that was Joe Public

....that right, aye?

you couldve been threaten with a pee pee tape so, consider yourself lucky ?

Freedom of expression 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Boris Johnson is a prolific LIAR as we all know

broadcasts this drivel from Johnson, a known pathological liar. What corroboration was obtained?

He’s a complete lying buffoon - but were there any possibility of that happening, I’d happily give Putin his postcode……

the actual headline you were searching for was : 'Boris Johnson denies BBC chairman knew anything about his finances when BBC chairman confirms that he did'. dead cat anyone?

What utter rubbish from the proven liar, law and ministerial code breaker. The man who has been sacked from very bloody job he has ever had for being a complete lying bastard.

I’m guessing the queue to push the button would be longer than the one for the Queen. JustSaying 🤷🏽 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤔

About as believable as the story he almost died from Covid-19

Which liar to believe? Putin or Johnson? What a conundrum 🤔🙄

same Boris Johnson who lied about brexit got us out of Europe, the same Boris who lied about corona and had parties while the rest weren't even allowed to say goodbye to our loved ones, the same Boris who messed our economy while he got loans, and we still suppose to believe you.

Really?

How can you believe Boris who lies all the time.muppet.

This is a Richard Sharp article, isn’t it?

I'm not surprised, you are a $! It's a shame they didn't

And he’s only telling us this now because..... BorisTheLiar

Putin you scalliwag...

Something Boris Johnson says, reported by the BBC. I'd put my house on that🙄

Johnson the clown and Conservative yob in chief is trying to get street credibility by suggesting such nonsense that Putin would use a missile to take him out - no one in this world considers this turnip to be important enough to have an egg thrown at him let alone a missile 🤣

When he said 'Puttin belled me' it stopped being a credible interview and became another wreck it ralph drama, only needed the eastenders dramatic drum beat... He expects us to believe him, the man who's whole term in office is strewn with lies and deceptions.. Behave ya clown 🤡

Cool but unlikely. Boris has done so much to protect Russian money and criminality in UK GeneralElectionN0W

The left will believe Putin because they prefer a terrorist to an elected MP.

I am amazed at the people defending Putin, the man who said he wasn't going to war with Ukraine

Yeah, sure he did.

A missile that can target just BJ must cost a fortune to produce Crowd funding, maybe?

Where’s the recording of the phone call? If there’s no recording, why was Johnson speaking to Putin without one. Personally, I don’t believe a serial liar like Johnson. Nor should you - that’s why you (as a news channel), should INVESTIGATE!!!!!

Are there any witnesses to this or is it just BorisJohnson hearsay

Threatened him? To explode in his unruly hair?

Bollocks

Threatened him ?

Did he ?

More lies from the dishonest clown.

_DHOTYA

That's a good one, best laugh I've had for ages

He's such a man with his empty threats!

B0ll0cks he is Putin’s Puppet! TraitorJohnson ToryTraitors

Unfortunately Boris believes that it was only him being threatened. He hasn’t the mental capacity to consider Putin meant the entire UK. Sorry Boris it’s not about you !!

Hello ; it's also impossible to know if this event ever took place. No previous record or mention ... until Boris's attempts to revive his career and impending book launch. I think you, The Mail and The Telegraph are the only three left taking Boris's word at face value.

Ripping yarns from the

Ummm get a grip 🤣🤣

I don’t usually like anything that Putin says or does but this? I could make an exception for this. BorisJohnson

Good I'm glad as you should poke your nose into other problems ,this war is not Russian fault it's the USA NATO and uk ganging up like USA always does Iraq Iran etc

do you think we believe your Putin threat story.. we're still knee deep in the rest of your ole toffee pfeffel.

Did he sleep with Putin's wife😲

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He deserve it,, since he is the one encourging Ukrane to kill Russians… he should be trired with Toby Blair for Crimes against humanity…

Diversion from Tory scandal

The keys words from that are Boris said

is he even allowed to disclose this? 🤦🏻‍♂️

The wolf is now behind you Mr Johnson!

Boris Johnson says lots of things, the vast majority of which are absolute bullshit.

We can hope

Guess what THIS TIME they do have weapons of mass destruction. Maybe a little fair reporting on why Russia felt so cornered in the first place, since the breakup of the USSR the USA and all of NATO have just pushed and pushed Russia and we now cry when they push back. NO TO WARS

Bloody hell ! STRIKES,thats all we hear about these days.

Just another lie and of course you lot run it as your main story for the morning. And you wonder why support for the BBC is at an all time low?

Johnson is a pathological liar. Lets discuss this instead BBC?

He threatens everyone, nothing new here.

IF it's true, surely VP would be doing us a favour, no?

He was probably pissed off Boris sided with the Ukraine after all he'd done for him.

liar

Extract from the book “Things that never happened”.

Don't believe it.

Was it wrong? hate war, hate blocked

Did he though? Or is that yet another Boris lie - who can tell with the boy who cried wolf

And now he's walking around with a helmet to stop it hitting him!

If you believe this liar,you must believe the earth is flat n the moon is made of cheese

Did he aye

Boris protecting our democracy & sovereignty

Yeah of course did 🙄

Why is this liar headlining on the BBC?

Why do you continually give him opportunity to speak his lies. He is a backbencher. I don’t see you affording other backbenchers the same air time.

Putins threatened everyone in the world with a missile strike pretty much Boris, get over it

🤣🤣🤣 ofc he did..

B💩

Think before you speak.

I'm praying - that he does.

And you believe the liar Johnson? Has Sharp given you your orders?

He’s like a bad smell, just won’t go away….wouldn’t believe a word coming out of his mouth. Just go away man….

I am raging at Putin for not carrying this out. He has had ample opporchancity to blow the eejit up...Grrr...

Distraction story alert 🚨

pish

Just remember Johnson tells lies

Bawface Johnson says waffle waffle waffle Putin waffle waffle waffle missile waffle waffle waffle strike, more lies

He’s just like the boy who cried wolf - nobody believes a liar.

It's a pity Mr Putin didn't try, would've saved the country from this inbred mouthpiece

He also makes buses out of old wine crates. Why are you giving credence to this load of old crap?

If it’s sticking a missile up his arse I don’t mind.

Don't give a toss about Boris Johnson stop giving this criminal a platform

So is Johnson must be calling in favours from the BBC to keep his profile in the public eye, ready for a bid for PM? Johnson is a proven liar and charlatan and now the BBC simply regurgitate what he says.

Boris johnson is always coming up with some kind of headline to deflect away from the shit he,s in the man's an out and out liar and as currupt as the come

“Threatened him” We live here too 🙄 !!!

Have you Fact Checked this? Especially as your source is known to be completly unreliable.

serial liars are like serial killers when allowed to be in governments that what i think as their polices are killing us literally. And our broken media do not care. ToriesDestroyingOurCountry TorySewageParty pumping shit into our waterways

You will always doubt what comes out of his mouth.

Classic diversion when he's in the shit!

That was probably his constituents

Johnson says a lot of things, whether they are true or not is another thing.

Even the Russians could hit that target.

Putin should do that fast so UK will feel the pain of what they doing others around the world while using BBC to cover it, please uncle Putin do it fast we have suffered a lot from UK God pls bless Putin for that.we can't breat because of UK govt

A known liar said what now?

Johnson looking for sympathy in desperation.

What went wrong?

Between Johnson and Putin, I would rather believe Johnson, especially Putin has a habit to consistently recite nuke threats to instill fear and get what he wants. Putin is also very good in deception, he would say, he won't do it but will do the exact opposite.

And he's now just decided to mention it 🤔

Boris the bullshitter should change his name to Pinocchio

More lies to try an make people feel sorry for him

Or 'something like that'

Why report this garbage but no comments on his corruption, £800,000 loan organised by your Chairman?

Wow. Every comment calls A Johnson a liar.!!!

As you allegedly don't promote stories without the truth (Zahawi) why are you giving credence to a known liar inept corrupt complicit standards

Pants on fire Johnson🔥

Was this before, or after he bought him?

So let's hear the recording - although Tories phones seem prone to loss and damage.

What utter bollocks!! I’d wager he was referring to the West, or even the UK! Not This Prize Johnson alone. What a delusional, narcissistic, self-grandising, megalomaniac!!

Blah hmmm yes, I'm selling a book you know

Well, the way this conflict is heading, thanks in part to Boris Johnson. It looks like WW3 will occur.

What a missed opportunity

Says the man who lies about everything

He threatens the U.K. not Boris 🙄

Is that true Boris 🤔

Another Johnson article begging for attention. This guy can’t live without it.

Boris Johnson is a proven LIAR, adulterer,lazy scrounging,not done his MP job since JULY 2022,yet you are promoting what he says?! Blatantly stealing from everyone else for doing FA !

I don’t believe a word he’s just said … not sincere at all, just blabbering as always. “Jolly”? WTH? If someone’s threatens a missile, it’s NOT jolly!!!

AND YOU ARE TELLING US THIS NOW' WHY?🤡

Israel to arm more if it’s illegal settlers

Did he? Aye.

I don’t believe you, BooZo BorisJohnson

Anything to keep relevant, please just go away!

Quoting a renowned liar, great journalism!!

Is that the guy who got sacked from every job he’s ever had for telling lies?

😂

Personally?

Pity he didn’t carry out his threat.

Should of done it Putin

Really?! Like Boris Johnson wasn’t having parties during the pandemic 🙄

He doesn’t need to launch a missile strike, he’s already launched Brexit and Johnson delivered it for him.

Him specifically? Then what’s the issue?

Loads a load of bullocks from this lying, narcissistic conman who is trying to save is own skin. Johnson take the English public for fools.

Would have done the UK a favour

One clown 🤡 from UK doesn’t know how to hide his lies and another clown 🤡 from Ukraine who doesn’t know how to stop asking money .

And we all know Boris never lies 🙄

Headline should say “Man who constantly lies and his nickname is Pinocchio says this time he’s definitely telling the truth “

Blah blah blah …. No oft cares about boofhead Boris

We wouldn't mind if a Putin missile can target just his hair.

Propaganda

Is this breaking, today, a deliberate deflection away from the Tory doner BBC Chairman story? 😉

Would like to hear the recorded phone conversation. Boris was right telling him it would be a catastrophic failure for russia.

Johnson is getting far to involved! If he’s that big a man, why not grow set and talk to Putin! After all he’s been happy to receive Russian money in the past! He’s not the PM anymore, work for his constituents instead!

Go home Boris

Boris Johnson says a lot of things. Who knows if it’s true or not 🤷‍♀️

I don’t believe that for a second

Unhinged, but not sure which one.

Putin has had his moneys worth from Johnson. Even if he hadn't, the sponger doesn't do refunds.

… remaining the out and out bald-faced and insolent blusterer … unashamed and unrepentant … and completely gutless …

Understandable

BORIS JOHNSON KNOWN FOR LYING

Me and Putin agree on something!

We are dare devils and no one can hide from our hawk eyes. Putin should bow down to us....

Pretty much every post here says what i thought ....it's absolute bollocks the mans a compulsive liar and charlatan and should be careful when reporting anything Johnson says.

GabyUlm

Him personally? On his house?

The silos could already be empty and not a soul would believe a word from this narcissistic charlatan.

Unfortunately the word of a compulsive liar is meaningless.

Boosting his image before he replaces Sunak prior to the election

Yeah well I threatened him with a hair cut and a clean suit.

This is loathsome and nauseating … what an absolutely pitiable way of trying to squirm back into relevance ! …

Konjina novinarska

Precision strikes. Though not sure a missile is worth it, way too expensive.

Very scary for B.J. Being threatened by Putin!!

Putin must go, he is out of control.

oh dear, never mind

Putin lying even though he knew we knew he was lying,sounds familiar regarding BorisJohnson

So? Don't wine about it, do something

some people just don’t keep their promises.

If all Presidents and Their governments would focus on their people, making things better and not getting greedy and wanting power grabs would be nice

Another whopper of a lie from Johnson

Show us receipts Boris. There should be official records of this call.

Yes the person who sabotaged the peace agreement between Ukraine & Russia last year & who called for an escalation in the conflict just days ago would have absolutely no reason to lie about this!

Was it because of the hair? I bet it was because of the hair

LIAR 🤥

Thanks, it is understood. This isn't from a mental health nurse or doctor! Please respond with vigour, and bring out the conversations on TV!

Fair trade off. Stop the war and you can have Boris.

I don’t believe him.

LIERS AND LIARS! 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🖕🖕🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🖕🖕🖕👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🤣🤣😘😘🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

So Putin has some redeeming features

Still under scrutiny for the dodgy 800k and suddenly he brings this up. Why didn't he say anything a year ago. Rubbish.

Yer coz Boris has such a track record of the truth.. not a fan of either of em..he was quite happy to take their money in the past

We need to bring this to a halt. Enough giving months late and diminishing our resources. He's winning against Ukraine and US

You're on his payroll, as a 1st job!

Ahhh, trying to make himself interesting so he can get paid for more speeches! As 2nd, 3rd, 4tf, 5th , 6th jobs 🙄😏

Why would he invoke Article 5?

Looking to put some distance between him and the Russians is he? And we're supposed to buy that?

On his ego?

I don't believe a word BorisJohnson says. Like realDonaldTrump he is a provenloser and a liar.

Shouldn't he be doing something for his electors?

Really? Do we have tapes?

Here we see BBC reporting what a KNOWN LIAR says If true BorisJohnson would have mentioned it ALREADY Why isn't BBC reporting how NATO breached Minsk Treaties by arming & training Ukr while Ukr BOMBED & SLAUGHTERED Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Donbass?

If he's looking for sympathy, sorry none spare.

And he will be supported in the Global South. Those colonialists like Boris have to pay.

Why is BBC still giving a backbench MP airtime, especially one who’s had some financial help from the BBC’s chair?

Can you smell that 👃.... 🤡💩

after all the lies you still print this

Problem is.... you can't believe a word he says. Not sure about Putin either.

Missile strike! Ffs they'll be blaming that on Mick Lynch.

This means BorisTheLiar put us in the firing line.🧐 Do you think we could offer him up as a trade-in.

And in doing so, would have brought NATO into the war, the very thing Putin didn't want. I'm going for option A) It never happened / Boris is a pathological liar.

Boris Johnson says 😏

Well if Boris says so it must be true. It happens at work events all the time apparently.

'As (Ben Wallace) left the meeting, he said Gen Valery Gerasimov - Russia's chief of general staff - told him 'never again will we be humiliated.' Oops. Russia Putin BorisJohnson Ukraine

Oh when did Jackanory make a return

Putin would not threaten one of his assets …would he?

Putin only said this because he was sick of the hi vis jacket look.

Don't they mean, Pooootin?

And I bet he just laughed in his face. Boris was the best.

😂😂 Putin has a sense of humour (missile strike) politics

This propaganda watch is getting boring.

There is no negotiating with Russia. russiaisateroriststate

Can you blame him?

B S

We can add one more to that then:

But in the end all Putin needed was Sunak to take him out...tf! That means Sunak's working for Putin!!!!!!

_DHOTYA

It could solve a lot of our problems and save the taxpayers some money

Could’ve done us all a favour

with boristic missile i guess

Good idea. Death by missile strike would put a stop to his lies and deceit

Heads up BBC, he is a liar. This might shock you to hear but there you are.

Oh 💩 don't take that sitting down

Boris the rat, should be in jail

This was around the time that the BBC were obsessed with cake no?

Okay well if he says it, it must have happened?! Any chance the BorisJohnson might be leveraging his apparent support for Ukraine again?

awesome

Just him? Fair enough.

😂😂😂😂man feel bullied

It’s bullocks. All lies. It’s Johnson. Wise up.

Him personally?

and Boris Johnson wouldn’t lie
