“Who tries to destroy Russia, falls itself”: Moscow is executed after Johnson's resignation

Following extraordinary developments over the past 24 hours in British politics, where more than 40 ministers from the government resigned and appealed for the end of his mandate, joy in Moscow for Johnson's departure was unspoiled.

Johnson told the British, during his address outside Downing Street, that “was clearly the will of the Conservative Party to have a new leader” and that no one was “irreplaceable” in politics.

His fall was a reason for the celebration in Russia.

A Russian tycoon named him a <x0-palaque to take” to the British leader who is receiving his award for arming Ukraine against Russia.

Relations between Moscow and London are at the lowest point following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which spread deep differences between the two countries. Johnson has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine and has twice visited Kiev during the war.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “does not like him, so we don't like him”, but that his resignation from the prime minister was a little sorrow for the Kremlin.

He also called for the UK to deploy “most professional” to its new government.

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said Johnson's fall was a symptom of the Western failure, which she says has been flooded by political, ideological and economic crises.

“Moral event: do not attempt to destroy Russia. Russia cannot be destroyed. You can break your teeth into”, Zakharova said.

Even before Putin ordered his troops for the invasion of Ukraine, Johnson had repeatedly criticised Putin -- calling him a ruthless and irrational chief who was endangering the world with his insane ambitions -- but the conservative party under his leadership has been criticised for taking money from Russian oligarchs. /Periscopi/
