russia's argumenty i fakty weekly reported on the 4th that former british prime minister boris johnson was once again spoofed by famous russian pranksters "vovan" (vladimir kuznetsov) and "lexus" (alexey stolyarov). they pretended to be the famous french politician and economist jacques attali and had a phone call with johnson, "getting" johnson's views on the situation in ukraine and other issues. as early as 2018, they pretended to be armenian prime minister pashinyan and had a phone call with johnson, who was then the foreign secretary.

according to russia today tv on the 4th, the two pranksters said that they pretended to be attali because "he is a representative of the globalized world" and has a high status in france, which johnson is also interested in. in addition, johnson himself has no contact with attali and cannot verify "his interview request." the russian newspaper reported that johnson said in the call that he was "proud of london for intervening in the negotiations between moscow and kiev in march 2022 and causing them to break down." he said that zelensky was ready to cease fire with russia, but "britain played a key role in preventing this from happening." now zelensky will not have the idea of ​​​​negotiation. he also said that the above content was expressed to him by zelensky himself.

speaking of western aid to ukraine, johnson said: "we should give them atacms (us army tactical missile system)." "ukraine needs to be given the power to use these weapons to strike deep into russia." it should also "lift restrictions on the range of use of atacms missiles" to help ukraine destroy russia's crimea bridge.

in addition, johnson also mentioned in the interview: "i often hope to have a military talent. if i were a general, i could lead ukraine's foreign legions to fight against the russian army." johnson also said that ukrainians "are fighting for us" and that "ukraine should be explicitly invited to join nato." he also revealed to "attali" that he hopes to "return to power", even though such behavior is unconstitutional.

according to the russian newspaper izvestia, russian political analyst kochetkov commented that the west is only using ukraine as a "tool to confront russia". western politicians do not care about the fate of ukrainians at all, and johnson is obviously "the main planner of this conflict and the main opponent of peace talks". as long as people like johnson control the kiev regime, russia and ukraine will not be able to negotiate.

regarding johnson's statement that "the crimean bridge must be destroyed", yuri gamper, chairman of the crimean parliament's people's foreign affairs and national relations committee, criticized johnson as a "notorious war criminal", a "shame for britain" and a representative of the "british criminal political elite".
