Boris Johnson couldn't handle Russian hospitality, Sergei Lavrov's vodka treatment was probably too much!
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson complained of what he described as a form of "torture" during a 2017 meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Johnson, who served as Britain's foreign secretary at the time, claims that Lavrov subjected him to an evening of vodka drinking by a fireplace.
Instead of enjoying the traditional Russian hospitality, Johnson described the experience as something akin to Victorian school punishment.
“It was really like a Victorian school type of punishment. It was terrible," he recalled.
Apparently, even a fireplace, a glass of vodka and an evening with Sergey Lavrov were too much for Boris!
