"That Disgusting Lavrov Made Me Drink Vodka"

The former British prime minister spoke about the failure of negotiations with Russia.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson described how he tried to reset relations with Russia, but the talks ended in complete failure. He made this statement in an interview with former Colombian President Iván Duque, as reported by Dialog.UA.

According to Johnson, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin seeks to exact revenge for the “humiliations of the late 20th century” and restore Moscow’s influence across the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe.

“That’s why compromise with Putin is impossible. People need to understand this. I tried to reset relations, but it all turned into a disaster,” the politician said.

The former prime minister recalled a trip to Moscow in December 2017, when he served as Britain’s foreign minister. According to him, Putin refused to meet with him, so the talks took place with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

“He’s a despicable man, utterly hopeless. He forced me to drink a huge amount of vodka in front of a blazing fireplace,” Johnson said.

He compared the meeting to a punishment at a Victorian boys’ school. “It was awful, and we got nowhere. Absolutely nowhere,” the politician added.
