The UK prime minister said he did not believe Vladimir Putin would have embarked on a"crazy, macho war of invasion and violence" if he was a woman.
"If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn't, but if he were, I really don't think he would've embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has," Mr Johnson told German broadcaster ZDF on Tuesday evening. "I'd like to point to events in modern history when [former British prime minister] Margaret Thatcher decided to launch an offensive against Argentina for control of the Falkland Islands", he said.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also responded to Johnson's comments by telling state news agency RIA Novosti that "good old [psychoanalyst Sigmund] Freud would have loved having in his lifetime such a subject for his research".
