Boris Johnson says Russian leader Vladimir Putin threatened to kill him in missile attack after Ukraine visit

Boris Johnson has revealed how Russian president Vladimir Putin threatened to kill him in a missile attack. The former Prime Minister made the claim during a new three-part BBC documentary.

The warning was issued during a phone call involving both leaders that took place in February 2022. It followed Boris Johnson’s last-ditch attempt to show support for Ukraine by visiting Kyiv amid growing fears of a further onslaught from Russia.
