Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Putin’s security council, hit back at the former UK prime minister’s criticisms of Alliance leaders in failing to fast-track Ukraine’s membership
The Kremlin has branded Boris Johnson an “idiot” who should be “admitted to a psychiatric hospital” over his views on admitting Ukraine to NATO.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Vladimir Putin’s security council, hit back at the former UK prime minister’s criticisms of Alliance leaders in failing to fast-track Ukraine’s membership.
“Former Britain’s PM [Boris] Johnson suggested admitting Ukraine to NATO ‘without conditions’,” said ex-president Medvedev on Telegram.
“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.”
