British Prime Minister Boris Johnson responded during the G7 summit to a question from CNN correspondent Clarissa Ward about whether he agrees with the statement of US President Joe Biden that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “killer”.
“I, of course, believe that President Putin did unacceptable things,” Johnson said, adding that he was sure that the Russian leader personally authorized the use of the military poison ” Novichok&”in Salisbury against the former agent Skripal, which led to the death of an innocent local resident.
“You can see how he treats his main opponent, Alexei Navalny,” Johnson also noted, emphasizing that now in prison “they are actually torturing”.
Johnson also said that at the summit in Geneva, US President Joe Biden will present a rather tough position to the Russian president, and he approves of this step.
“This is what I did myself when I last saw Putin,” Johnson noted.
At the same time, Johnson did not respond in detail to the question of what the outcome of the Biden-Putin summit should be in order for it to be called a success.
