Moscow smacked Boris Johnson on his way out the door as the U.K. prime minister signaled plans to step down after a tenure marked by a staunch defense of Ukraine but many scandals at home.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr. Johnson “really does not like us — and we [do not like] him either,” according to the BBC.
Mr. Peskov called for “more professional people” to take over at 10 Downing Street.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy frequently praised Mr. Johnson for his support during the Russian invasion that began on Feb.
