The politician interviewed an Estonian journalist. During the conversation, Johnson said that "what Putin is doing is archaic and barbaric, and he needs to understand that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania—none of these countries are part of the Russian imperium, and nor is Ukraine."

"It's over. Putin, you idiot. There is no more empire," Johnson said in the interview with the Estonian journalist.

Ukrainian media remind us that this is not the first time a high-ranking official has sworn at Putin.

Putin proposed a "duel." Zelensky didn’t mince words

In mid-December 2024, at Greenwich Mean Time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Putin a "dovboyob" (fool). Zelensky responded this way to Putin's scandalous words proposing a technological duel over Kyiv.

The Russian dictator suggested that the West station all possible air defence systems in Kyiv to intercept the Russian Oreshnick missile.

"People are dying, and he thinks it's 'interesting'. Dumbass," wrote Zelensky.
