The Russian President, Vladimir Putinwould not have ordered the invasion of Ukraine if she were a woman, estimated the Prime Minister British, Boris Johnson, who considered that it would be better if there were more women in power.
“If Putin were a woman, which he obviously isn’t, I don’t really think he would have gone into this crazy macho war of invasion and violence the way he did,” he told the television network Tuesday night. German ZDF.
The start of this war is “a perfect example of male toxicity,” he continued.
In the same interview, the leader called for more education for girls in the world and called for more “women in positions of power.”
From Turkmenistan, Putin assured that Johnson’s comments were “incorrect” and gave an example of the United Kingdom itself, whose former prime minister “Margaret Thatcher decided to launch an offensive against Argentina to control the Falkland Islands in 1982.”
“There, a woman decided to start a war,” the Russian leader said.
Johnson’s comments were mocked by other Russian officials.
“Freud would have loved to have such a subject alive for his research,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Ria Novosti press agency about the head of the British government.
“Boris Johnson has a great imagination. What the hell did the Seven do together?” commented Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry on Telegram, referring to the summit of the leaders of the seven main powers of the G7.
In his interview with the German network, the head of the British government also acknowledged that “everyone wants the war to end” but, for the moment, “no agreement is possible. Putin does not make a peace offer.
The immediate goal of the Western strategy is to support Ukraine so that it is in the best possible strategic position on the day peace negotiations with Moscow can begin, he added.
