Gordon Brown Reveals The Threat He Got From Putin After Putin Threatened Him During Official Visit

The then Chancellor of
the Exchequer visited the Russian President in the Kremlin, however, as
Russian President Vladimir Putin put him in a low seat so he looked up to him.
In a spine-chilling move, the former KGB agent also took out a pack
of cards and read out information about Mr. Brown.

The threatening experience
left the New Labour heavyweight with “no illusions” about the Russian
President.

He told the Telegraph: “I first met Putin in 2006 at the Kremlin, when I
was still Chancellor…and I was put in a very low seat so that I was looking up
at him.

“Anyway, that day he took
out these index cards, and proceeded to read out all this information he had
about me, as though he wanted to prove that he knew more about me than I knew
about myself.

“So when people say that
Putin’s changed and is only now threatening, I can tell you that he was
threatening me even then.”

Mr Brown also blasted the 150
countries that failed to impose sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

The former Prime Minister told
Sophie Raworth on the BBC’s Sunday Morning show that there had been
“global disunity”.

He said: “I applaud NATO
unity but there is a problem with coordinating sanctions where some countries
are not prepared to do it.

“What we’ve also seen is
global disunity – 82 countries refuse to support the action against Russia for
its breach of human liberties, 150 countries around the world are not imposing
sanctions, so we have global disunity.
