Johnson had to put off key call with Vlad
BORIS Johnson heads to Ukraine today after missing a call with Vladimir Putin because he was in the Commons being grilled by MPs on Partygate.
Mr Johnson travels to Kyiv for talks with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky as Putin’s forces continue their build-up.
No10 admitted a 4pm call with Putin had to be shelved.
Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: “A vital diplomatic opportunity has been missed as Boris Johnson scrambles to hold on to his job.
“These are the real world consequences of a distracted Prime Minister unfit for office.”
Mr Johnson said: “We urge Russia to step back and engage in dialogue.” Foreign Secretary Liz Truss was due to go with the PM but last night revealed she had tested positive for Covid.
