Kremlin says Boris Johnson's claim about Vladimir Putin missile threat a 'lie'

Moscow: The Kremlin on Monday dismissed as a “lie” accusations from former British prime minister Boris Johnson that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally threatened him with a missile attack. “What Mr Johnson said is not true. More precisely it’s a lie,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “Moreover, this is either a conscious lie - then you need to ask Mr Johnson for what purpose he chose this version of events - Or it was unintentional and in fact he didn’t understand what President Putin was talking to him about.” The apparent threat came in a telephone call just before Moscow ordered troops into Ukraine in February 2022, according to a new BBC documentary to be broadcast on Monday. “I know what was discussed during this conversation… There were no missile threats,” Peskov said.
