Vladimir Putin also rejected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's charge that if he were a woman he would not have invaded Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that western leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, would look "disgusting" if they try to copy him and pose topless. Mr Putin made the remarks during a press conference in Turkmenistan on Thursday, hitting back at Mr Johnson who mocked the Russian leader at the G7 summit, according to Independent.
"I don't know how they wanted to get undressed, above or below the waist," the Russian President said when asked about UK Prime Minister's comments. "But I think it would be a disgusting sight in any case," he added.
Mr Putin said that unlike him, western leaders abuse alcohol and don't do enough sporting activities. "It's necessary to stop abusing alcohol and other bad habits, do physical exercise and take part in sports."
Earlier this week, Mr Johnson had joked that G7 leaders could take their clothes off to "show that we're tougher than Putin" amid the ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine.
