Government officials and world leaders have begun to revel in Boris Johnson’s downfall, with the Kremlin announcing today: “He doesn’t like us, we don’t like him either.”
In the EU as a major Brexiteer and in Russia due to his steadfast support for Ukraine, the prime minister, who announced his retirement this afternoon, has gained a number of adversaries during his term in office.
We would like to think that more competent individuals who can make judgments through conversation someday come to power in Great Britain, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov this morning.
However, there is currently little prospect for it. He doesn’t like us at all. Also, neither do we like him.
An advisor to Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Johnson for consistently “standing at the vanguard” of backing Kyiv as it fights itself against Putin’s troops, demonstrating how much more respectfully the country behaved to the departing leader.
“To be a leader – to call Russian evil an evil and to take responsibility in the darkest circumstances,” stated Mykhailo Podolyak on Twitter. Being the first to reach Kyiv despite missile assaults would demonstrate leadership.
Thank you to Boris Johnson for seeing the danger posed by the Russian beast and for consistently leading the charge in defending Ukraine.
He addressed the camera in a video that was broadcast along with the tweet and said, “Today, we have everything we need for the effective defense of the country: weaponry, partnership, and coalition.
We now see that winning is a true sign of Ukraine’s future, thanks to Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson, we owe our partners a huge debt of gratitude for giving us the chance to execute our work well.
Since the war with Russia began, the prime minister has been one of Ukraine’s most ardent supporters, traveling to Kyiv twice and developing a close friendship with Zelensky.
Numerous affluent Russians with ties to the Kremlin have been sanctioned by his government, which claims that their money is no longer welcome in Britain.
Moscow added that the political uproar in Britain was evidence of a larger global crisis affecting liberal countries.
Johnson’s downfall, according to Maria Zakharova, the top spokesperson for the Russian foreign ministry, was a sign of the West’s decline, which she claimed was beset by political, ideological, and economic turmoil.
The moral of the narrative, according to Zakharova, is to refrain from trying to destroy Russia. Russia is invulnerable.
You can choke on them after breaking your teeth on it.
“Liberal regimes are in the deepest political, intellectual, and economic crisis,” she continued on Telegram.
He was painted by Zakharova with joyfully as the architect of his own destruction.
She said that Boris Johnson had been struck by a boomerang he had launched himself.
“His brothers in arms turned him in,” it says.
Guy Verhofstadt, who represented the European Parliament in Brexit-related affairs, had a tense rapport with UK legislators.
By tweeting, “Boris Johnson’s reign ends in shame, much like his pal Donald Trump,” he reveled in the news coming from No. 10 today.
The era of transatlantic populism is coming to an end. So let’s hope.
‘With Johnson’s decision to support Brexit, EU-UK relations significantly weakened. Only better things can come about!
The EU’s main negotiator in the UK’s leave negotiations, Michel Barnier, added: “Boris Johnson’s departure ushers in a new chapter in ties with [the UK].”
“May it be more productive, more mindful of the promises made, particularly in regards to peace and stability in Northern Ireland, and more cordial with European allies.”
Because there is a ton more work that has to be done jointly.
‘From our point of view, the political events do not change our position on the (Northern Ireland) protocol or the manner in which we collaborate with our British counterparts on Northern Ireland,’ a spokeswoman for the European Commission said.
In terms of the protocol’s implementation, “Our position is that we should try to find answers,”
Johnson’s resignation, according to Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, offers a chance to mend relationships that have been damaged by Brexit.
“While Prime Minister Johnson and I participated actively together, we didn’t always agree, and the relationship between our governments has been strained and stretched in recent times,” he said in a statement.
We now have the chance to rekindle the genuine spirit of cooperation and respect that is required to support the benefits of the Good Friday Agreement.
The “stupid clown” had a “inglorious end,” according to Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska, whose conscience will be stained by the “tens of thousands of lives lost in this foolish fight in Ukraine.”
Johnson had often criticized President Vladimir Putin, portraying him as a cruel and possibly insane Kremlin leader who was putting the world in risk, even before Putin gave the order to invade Ukraine on February 24.
Johnson turned Britain into one of the strongest Western allies of Ukraine after the invasion, delivering weaponry, imposing some of the harshest sanctions on Russia in modern times, and pressing Ukraine to beat Russia’s sizable military troops.
Johnson was so devoted to Ukraine that people in Kyiv gave him the nickname “Borys Johnsoniuk” out of fondness. He would occasionally complete his remarks with “Slava Ukraini,” or “glory to Ukraine.”
Before taking the United Kingdom out of the European Union in 2019, Johnson, the face of the Brexit campaign in 2016, spoke stilted Russian to the Russian people in February and said he did not think the “needless and brutal” conflict was in their name.
