													Prime Minister of UK Boris Johnson. (File photo)In an amusing slip-up, former British prime minister Boris Johnson was caught on camera thanking Russian President Vladimir Putin for his “inspirational leadership”, before correcting himself to thank Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The incident occurred during a debate in Britain’s general Commons on the war in Ukraine, reported local media.

In a clip that has been widely shared on social media, Johnson, with his trademark dishevelled hair, is seen speaking to the members. “Thanks also, of course, to the inspirational leadership of Vladimir Putin…” he said, before correcting his mistake with a quick embarrassed smile as a few chuckles are heard in the background.

“… the inspirational leadership of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, forgive me, the Russian forces have in recent days been expelled from large parts of the northeast of the country, around Kharkiv and they’re under increasing pressure in Kherson in the south and I have no doubt that the Ukrainians will win,” Johnson added, referring to the present ground situation in the Russia-Ukraine war.
