The Kremlin declared today that Boris Johnson is no longer a friend to the Kremlin and has begun to celebrate the death of the world’s top leaders and bureaucrats.
Today’s announcement by the prime minister of his resignation was a blow to him. This is especially true in Europe, where he has been a prominent Brexiteer, and Russia because of his support for Ukraine.
This morning, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: ‘We would like to hope that some day in Great Britain more professional people who can make decisions through dialogue will come to power.
“But, at the moment, there is no hope. We don’t like him. We don’t like him.
Ukraine responded with more respect to the outgoing leader Volodymyr Zelensky, hailing him as the new premier.
The president called Johnson by telephone to express his ‘sadness’ over the resignation, saying: ‘We all welcome this news with sadness. I am not the only one who feels this way, but all members of Ukrainian society.
Johnson’s advisor thanked Johnson as well for being ‘at the forefront of support’ to Kyiv in its defense against Putin’s forces.
Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter: ‘To be a leader – to call Russian evil an evil and to take responsibility in the hardest times. To be a leader – to be the first to arrive in Kyiv, despite missile attacks.
“Thanks Boris Johnson to realising Russian menace and being at forefront of support for Ukraine.
While Boris Johnson announces that he is resigning, bureaucrats and world leaders have begun to revel in his demise.
Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson said that he doesn’t like them and we don’t either.
Johnson’s government has approved dozens of Russians connected to the Kremlin and claims their money is not welcomed in Britain.
He spoke with the camera in a video that was posted along the tweet and said: “Today, we have all we need to defend the country: arms, coalition, and partnership.”
‘Thanks to Mr Johnson, we understand that victory is a real symbol of the future in Ukraine … we are extremely grateful to our partners, Mr Johnson, for the opportunity to do our work effectively.’
The Prime Minister has been a strong supporter of Ukraine in its fight against Russia. She visited Kyiv twice after the conflict started and formed a personal friendship with Zelensky.
His government has approved dozens of Russians with Kremlin connections and said their money is not welcomed in Britain.
Moscow stated that Britain’s political calamity was evidence of an even deeper crisis within liberal democracies.
Maria Zakharova was Russia’s top foreign minister spokeswoman. She said Johnson’s death was an indicator of the West’s decline, which was driven by political, ideological, and economic crises.
Zakharova declared, “The moral of this story is not to seek destruction Russia.” Russia cannot be destroyed. It is possible to break your teeth and choke.
She added on Telegram: ‘It is obvious to everyone that liberal regimes are in the deepest political, ideological and economic crisis.’
Guy Verhofstadt was the representative of European Parliament on Brexit matters. We are happy for him.
Zakharova gleefully portrayed him as the author of his own downfall.
“Boris Johnson was hit with a boomerang that he himself launched,” she stated. His comrades in arms turned him into police.
Guy Verhofstadt served as the European Parliament representative in matters related to Brexit. However, he had a frosty relationship with UK lawmakers.
Tweeting his delight at today’s news from Number 10, he said: “Boris Johnson’s reign ends with disgrace. Just like his friend Donald Trump.”
“The end to an era transatlantic populism?” Let’s pray so.
Johnson’s Brexit decision was devastating for the UK and EU relations. The future is bright!
Michel Barnier is the EU’s main negotiator for the UK’s exit negotiations. He added that “The departure of Boris Johnson opens up a new chapter in our relations with.” [the UK].
‘May it be more constructive, more respectful of commitments made, in particular regarding peace & stability in NI, and more friendly with partners in Europe.
“Because there is so much more that can be done together.”
The spokesperson for the European Commission stated that the “Political developments” do not affect our position regarding the protocol (Northern Ireland), nor the manner in which we collaborate with British counterparts.
“Our position, as a group, is that we must seek out solutions for the implementation of this protocol.
Micheal Martin (Irish prime minister) said Johnson’s resignation is an opportunity to heal relations that were strained after Brexit.
In a statement, he said that while Prime Minister Johnson was active in engaging with him, they didn’t always agree and that the relationship between their governments had been difficult and challenging in recent years.
“We now have an opportunity for us to return the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect necessary to sustain the Good Friday Agreement’s successes.”
As Ukraine fights Russia, the prime minister is one of Ukraine’s most loyal supporters. Since conflict started in Ukraine, he has twice visited Kyiv.
Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, stated on Telegram that it was an “inglorious ending” for a “stupid clown”, whose conscience would become bloated by the ‘tens to thousands of deaths in this senseless conflict with Ukraine.”
Johnson was critical of Putin even before President Vladimir Putin ordered his February 24th invasion of Ukraine. Johnson had previously criticized Putin repeatedly, describing him as a cruel and perhaps irrational Kremlin chief that is endangering all life.
Johnson, Britain’s largest Western supporter of Ukraine after the invasion sent weapons and demanded that Russia be defeated.
Johnson supported Ukraine so strongly that many in Kyiv called him Borys Johnsoniuk. His speeches were sometimes concluded with “Slava Ukraini”, or “glory for Ukraine”.
Johnson was the front man for the Brexit campaign in 2016, and he won an overwhelming electoral victory before leading the United Kingdom from the European Union. In February, he even used stilted Russian to tell the Russians that he didn’t believe their ‘needless, bloody’ war.
