Boris Johnson calls Tucker Carlson a ‘traitor’ over ‘ludicrous interview’ with Vladimir Putin
Washington Examiner ^ | February 9, 2024 8:03 pm | Jenny Goldsberry

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson responded to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allegations from his interview with Tucker Carlson.

During the interview posted to X on Thursday night, Putin claimed that Johnson “dissuaded” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from coming to an agreement with Russia and avoiding a war entirely. According to Putin, an agreement had already been outlined in a document.

“He put his signature and then he himself said, ‘We were ready to sign it, and the war would have been over long ago. However, Prime Minister Johnson came to talk us [Ukraine] out of it, and we’ve missed that chance,’” Putin said via a translator.

Johnson wrote an op-ed in the Daily Mail on Friday and also issued a video response the outlet posted on X. The former prime minister joined in a chorus of political leaders that condemned Carlson to agree to an interview but was among the few mentioned by name by Putin.

TUCKER CARLSON: You think that now, in February 2024, he has the freedom to speak with your Government, to try somehow with his help the country? Can he do it himself?

VLADIMIR PUTIN: Why not? He believes himself head of state, he won the election. Although we in Russia believe that everything that happened after 2014, the primary source of power is the coup, and in this I mean, even today’s power is flawed. But he considers himself president, and in this capacity he is recognized by the United States, and all of Europe, and almost the rest of the world. Why not? He can.

We were negotiating with Ukraine in Istanbul, agreed, he knew about it. Moreover, the leader of the negotiating group, Mr. Arachamiya, in my opinion, his last name, he still leads the ruling faction parties, presidential parties in Rada. He is still leads the presidential faction in Rada – in the country’s parliament, he still sits there. He even put his signature preliminary on this document, which I tell you about. But then he is publicly said to the whole world: « We were ready to sign this document, but Mr. Johnson arrived, then Prime Minister Great Britain, dissuaded us from this and said that it is better to fight with Russia. They are for us they will give everything so that we return lost during clashes with Russia. And we agreed with that offer ». Look published it statement. He said it publicly.

Can will they come back to this or not? This is the question: do they want or not? And after that, Mr. President Ukraine issued a decree prohibiting negotiations with us. Let him cancel this decree, and that’s it. We never refused to negotiate. We all the time we hear: is Russia ready, ready? Yes, we did not refuse! They publicly refused. Well, let’s cancels his decree and enters into negotiations. We never refused.

And the fact that they obeyed the demand or to the persuasion of the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Mr. Johnson, it seems to me that this is ridiculous and very, as it were, sad. Because, as Mr. Arachamia said, « we still a year and a half ago they could stop these hostilities, end this war, but the British persuaded, and we refused this ». Where now Mr. Johnson? And the war continues.

Boris Johnson should be hanging from a lamppost by his broken neck for the Covid lockdowns.

Mark Steyn was an aide to Boris Johnson earlier in his life.

He describes Boris as a madcap individual who is absolutely bat s**t crazy.

Why - because he’s the 9th American Journalist to interview Putin?
Sounds like you watch to much corporate media and are following their narrative,

I suppose you didn’t like Trump crossing the DMZ either?

That fits with another Putin truth bomb.
When the west stops sending money and ammo, the war ends.

Echo of Trumps claim he can end the war, and horrific killing, in 24 hours

Ukraine walked away from the agreement they had just signed.

Utter nonsense. There was NO peace deal NOR was there any signed agreement.

More Russian-propagated lies.
