The We For News reported, a spokesperson for Boris Johnson said on Friday that Britain’s prime minister does not support the idea of trying to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The spokesperson firmly rejected the idea when was asked by reporters whether he agrees with US Senator Lindsey Graham, who called for “somebody in Russia” to assassinate the country’s leader.

The spokesperson stated: “No. We stand with the Ukrainian people in demanding the immediate end to the Russian invasion.” He added that “We have said before that Putin must be held to account before an international court for the horrific acts he has committed.”

The We For News said that the bizarre call was issued by the top senator on Wednesday, with Graham invoking the assassination of Roman dictator Julius Caesar and the botched plot to kill Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler as examples of what should be done in his opinion.

“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham asked. “The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country – and the world – a great service.”

with Russia’s Embassy in the US strongly condemning such statements, as well as demanding Washington to hold the official accountable for his remarks.

Russia’s Ambassador in the US Anatoly Antonov said: “The degree of Russophobia and hatred towards Russia is going through the roof in the United States. It is unbelievable that a senator from a country that preaches its moral values as a ‘guiding light’ for all of mankind could allow himself call for terrorism as a means to achieve Washington’s goals on the international stage."

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
