Putin commented on Johnson's words that a woman would not start a military special operation

According to the Russian leader, "from the current prime minister of Great Britain, this is not a very correct reference to what is happening today."

Putin recalled former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who once decided on military action.

Earlier, the British prime minister in an interview with ZDF said that Putin would not have launched a special operation in Ukraine if he had been a woman. 

He added that Putin's actions towards Ukraine were "a perfect example of toxic masculinity."

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the words of the British Prime Minister, said that "Boris Johnson has sweaty fantasies."
