Boris Johnson's Hitler remarks unacceptable, says Russian envoy

'Nobody has the right to insult the Russian people who defeated nazism,' ambassador says

Russia's ambassador to the UK has described Boris Johnson's comparison of this summer's World Cup to the Nazi Olympics as "unacceptable and totally irresponsible".

Speaking at a press conference, Alexander Yakovenko complained that Britain had refused to cooperate with Moscow over the investigation into the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal. "We have seen no evidence," he said.
