Putin made the threat during a phone call with the former British PM

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed explosive details about a call he had with Russia’s Vladimir Putin few days before the war in Ukraine began.

Putin’s call to Downing Street came just 24 hours after Johnson met with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.

During the chat, Johnson says he warned Putin invading Ukraine would only lead to Western sanctions and further Nato troops in eastern Europe.

Johnson said: “He threatened me at one point, and he said, ‘Boris, I don’t want to hurt you but, with a missile, it would only take a minute’ or something like that. Jolly.

“But I think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate.”

Nine days later, on February 11, the UK’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace flew to Moscow to meet with his Russian counterpart.

While Wallace says he left with assurances Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine, he knew this was a lie.

Less than two weeks later, tanks rolled over the border. #trending #featured

ABC Facebook page hacked, porn star images briefly posted before being removed and security measures launched

In Short:
– ABC News Facebook page was briefly hacked, displaying an explicit photo of Bonnie Blue for 20 minutes.
– An investigation was launched after unauthorised access to a staff account led to the incident.

The ABC News Facebook page experienced a brief hack on Tuesday, featuring an explicit cover photo of adult model and OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue. The photo, showing Blue kneeling with her name written across her forehead, was displayed for approximately 20 minutes before being removed.

An ABC spokesperson confirmed the incident was due to unauthorised access to a staff account. Following the incident, the Facebook page was left without a cover photo. Other content posted included a glossy headshot of fellow adult entertainer Lily Phillips and a humorous image of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

The ABC promptly secured their Facebook page following the unauthorised access. An investigation into the breach has been launched to improve security measures.

Security Response

Many reactions followed the posts during their brief availability. Comments included jokes about new hosts for the cancelled series Q&A. Blue gained notoriety in 2025 for claiming to set a world record by engaging with 1,057 men in a single day.

Her plans for a controversial Schoolies event in 2024 led to her being banned from Australia after a public petition garnered significant support.

The cover photo used was sourced from the artwork for ‘Bonnie Blu,’ a single by American rapper Lil Mabu.
