Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson sharply scolded Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and said that “there is no more empire,” reports UNIAN.

During an interview with an Estonian journalist, a fragment of which appeared online, Johnson noted that Putin was trying to revive the Russian empire, but he forgot that Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine were no longer part of that empire.

“What Putin is doing is archaic and barbaric. He must understand that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania - none of these countries are part of the Russian Empire anymore, and the same applies to Ukraine. Everything is finished. Finished. There is no more empire, Vladimir, f*cking idiot! I'm sorry, but that's the way it is,” Johnson said.

The journalist laughed at the sharp statements of the British ex-premier.

Recall that earlier the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on the X social network reacted to Putin's statement about the probable “high-tech duel” of the Russian “Arrest” with Western air defense forces: “People are dying, and he is “interested”... Dovbo*OB”, - the President of Ukraine wrote.
