SHOTS FIRED Boris Johnson blasts Putin for ‘holding gun to Ukraine’s head’ & threatens sanctions to stop ‘disastrous’ war
12:17, 1 Feb 2022
BORIS Johnson tonight accused Vladimir Putin of "holding a gun" to Ukraine's head - and told him to step back from the brink of a brutal war.
At a sobering press conference in Kiev, the PM vowed to hit Moscow with crippling sanctions "the moment the first Russian toe cap" crosses the border.
