Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has played down Putin's threat of using nuclear weapons, saying deploying such tactics would make Russia ‘a complete economic cryogenic paralysis’ and turn countries such as China against him.

The ex-PM – made an honorary citizen of Kyiv at the event – was introduced as ‘a legendary figure’ in the countryHe said deploying nuclear weapons would make Mr Putin’s country ‘a complete economic cryogenic paralysis’, turn states such as China and India against him, and terrify Russians.Johnson made his audience laugh by telling Vladimir Putin to get the ‘puck out of Ukraine’ ‘Putin wants to present it as a nuclear stand-off between Nato and Russia,’ he added. ‘Nonsense.
Mr Johnson – famed for his literary references – said of Mr Putin: ‘He’s like the fat boy in Dickens. He wants to make our flesh creep. He wants us to think about it. He’s never going to do it.’ In Charles Dickens’s first novel The Pickwick Papers, a servant known as Joe the fat boy tells an elderly lady, ‘I wants to make your flesh creep’, with a shocking revelation about her daughter.
Mr Johnson – booted out by his party in September amid uproar over lockdown-breaking parties in No.10 – also urged the audience to ‘stop worrying about Kremlinology’.
