PM Boris Johnson to Russian people: You deserve the truth

The British prime minister has directly addressed Russians, partly in their own language, saying they deserve the truth and that "history will remember those who looked the other way", e-huquq.az reports citing B. Johnson's Twitter account.

Boris Johnson has described atrocities being committed in Ukraine as a "stain on the honour of Russia itself" in a stark video message to the Russian people.

In the video, published on Twitter and including brief passages spoken in Russian, the prime minister tells them they "deserve the truth" about the massacre of civilians and rape of women in places such as Bucha and Irpin.

B. Johnson urges Russians to find and share the facts for themselves by using a VPN connection, enabling them to bypass internet controls in their own country and access independent information.
