Quote: "I think he might. I think you can’t rule that out," Johnson said. 

In this context, he specifically mentioned Putin's interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson.

"I didn’t like at all what he was saying about Poland in his ghastly interview… I think that he could try something," Johnson explained. 

He stressed that the chances of Russia's attack on NATO states will increase if Putin succeeds in Ukraine.

"[Therefore - ed.] he mustn't succeed in Ukraine. He must fail," he concluded. 

In recent weeks, a number of European NATO countries have also issued warnings about the possibility of future Russian aggression.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius stated in January that the Alliance should prepare for a Russian attack on a NATO country within the next 5-8 years.
