“His counterpart Lavrov ... outplayed Johnson with cunning, and he could not even understand what was happening,” he said in an interview with the Espreso TV channel.
On July 7, Johnson announced that he had decided to step down as Prime Minister of Great Britain and leader of the country's Conservative Party.
He will continue to fulfill his duties until the election of a new prime minister of the country.
Lavrov noted that Johnson showed himself as a man who chased external effects, who held on to power in order to develop his own political career.
