Putin's claim of Ukraine «de-Nanazification» grotesque lie - Johnson.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin's claim that the invasion of Ukraine is part of the country's "de-Nazification" is a grotesque lie.
That’s according to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who addressed the issue on Twitter.
“Putin's claim that his invasion of Ukraine is 'de-Nazification' is a grotesque lie. Instead we're seeing the bombardment of innocent people,” Johnson wrote.
The head of the British government also mentioned the death of a 96-year-old former prisoner of the Nazi concentration camps, Boris Romanchenko of Kharkiv.
"An appalling tragedy. Boris survived four concentration camps & dedicated his life to ensuring the horrors of Nazism wouldn't be repeated," Johnson added.
