‘Something doesn’t add up’: Downing Street readout of Johnson’s call with Putin resurfaces

The official dispatch raises doubts over the accuracy of Johnson's recollections.

A Downing Street readout of Boris Johnson’s call with Vladimir Putin has resurfaced – and doesn’t appear to mention threats to his life at all.

The former prime minister said his Russian counterpart had told him “I don’t want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute” in a call ahead of the invasion of Ukraine.

Johnson said the “extraordinary” conversation took place in February after he had visited Kyiv in a last-ditch attempt to show Western support for Ukraine amid growing fears of a Russian assault.

The claims have since been disputed by the Kremlin, who said Johnson had “told a lie” in the interview.

A Downing Street readout of the call also raises doubt over the accuracy of Johnson’s recollections.

Read the report in full below:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
