Boris Johnson's blunt message to Putin: 'There is no more empire'
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has consistently supported Ukraine in its struggle against Russia since the beginning of the conflict, addressed President Putin. "It's over. Putin, you idiot. There is no more empire," he remarked.
The politician gave an interview to an Estonian journalist. During the conversation, Johnson stated, "He needs to understand that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania—none of these countries are part of the Russian imperium anymore; and nor is Ukraine."

Ukrainian media highlight that this is not the first time a high-ranking official has directed such language at Putin.
Putin proposed a "duel": Zelensky didn’t mince words
In mid-December 2024, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Putin a "dovboyob" (fool). Zelensky responded in this way to Putin's controversial proposal for a technological duel over Kyiv.
The Russian leader suggested that the West should position all available air defense systems in Kyiv to attempt to intercept the Russian Oreshnick missile.
"People are dying, and he considers it 'interesting.' Dumbass," wrote Zelensky.
