Boris Johnson turns on Trump: ‘Putin is laughing at us’
- Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has criticised Donald Trump's talks with Vladimir Putin, saying Putin is "laughing at us" for rejecting a ceasefire.
- Johnson's comments contradict his earlier support for Trump, where he expressed confidence in Trump's ability to pressure Putin.
- Putin's refusal to agree to a ceasefire and his demands regarding Ukraine indicate a lack of genuine interest in negotiation, according to Johnson.
- Johnson's criticism aligns with other Trump supporters and critics who see the talks as unproductive.
- Russian state media portrayed Putin as the victor in the talks, further highlighting the divide in perspectives.
