Vladimir Putin had threatened to launch Missile Attacks against London

London: Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to fire missiles at London. Former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has claimed that Russian President Putin feels he is responsible for making Russia a great empire. Therefore, the intensity of the ongoing propaganda war and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also increased.

Last year, before the conflict in Ukraine started, there was a phone conversation between Russian President Putin and then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on February 2. At this time, Boris Johnson warned the Russian President against Russia’s attack on Ukraine. After Russia’s attack on Ukraine, Boris Johnson informed that he had warned Russian President Putin that the NATO army would come and attack the Russian border. On this warning, President Putin gave a direct threat.

Moreover, Johnson said President Putin gave him a chilling warning that Russian missiles would hit London within a minute. Boris Johnson insisted that the Russian President had given the warning too easily. Johnson also noted that President Putin was very quiet during very serious conversations. Russia has rejected these claims made by the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian Kremlin, has said that Russia has not threatened anyone with a missile attack. ‘If Ukraine joins NATO, it means that US and NATO missiles will come to Russia’s border and they will be able to target Moscow in a few minutes,’ said Dmitry Peskov in a conversation with the British Prime Minister.

While the former UK Prime Minister has accused the Russian President, former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has claimed that the Russian President has very big ambitions. Robert Gates said President Putin believes we have a historic responsibility to expand Russia as much as it did in the past. In other words, the former US Defense Secretary has tried to indicate that Putin, who is obsessed with such ambitions, can do anything to achieve his goals by accusing the Russian President of waging battle in Ukraine only to achieve his ambitions. Earlier, the former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had also made similar accusations against Vladimir Putin.

Meanwhile, former US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice claimed President Putin dreamed of building a great Russian empire like ‘Peter the Great’.
