Probably notified the Russians through unofficial channels, they're unlikely to assassinate the UK Prime Minister. There has clearly been channels of communication to ensure mistakes don't happen involving Russians firing on NATO forces, as happened in Syria to ensure the US and Russian's didn't end up fighting each other.

I don't know, if they got Zelenskyy would it be worth it? Russia don't really give a ****. Brave move.
Nah, Russia arnt stupid. They know fine well if they killed the PM of a Western nation, a NATO member. That would be Greenlight for NATO to get physical.

Plucky move by Boris, considering your average GP is STILL reluctant to see you in person, his detractors should take note that our PM is not full of risk aversion, despite a wage not a lot higher than an inner city senior GP in a big practice...

Pretty sure Boris basically had to go after Ursula went recently. Gotta be seen to be on an even keel with the EU after all.

Pure PR stunt, deflecting from everything else
Can you stop going on with that utter nonsense.
Boris was almost certainly extremely well protected (Russia was probably very aware of where he was, and whilst the Russians don't care about killing women, children and babies, they would not risk killing the leader of a NATO member) and he can be replaced, GP's ARE seeing people face to face but are taking what little protection they can to reduce the chances of themselves becoming ill, or more importantly passing on a highly infectious illness to people who are often already ill and often in the higher risk groups for being seriously ill.
You're like a scratched record.

Yawn. How dare a GP try and protect their health and most importantly try to keep themselves from being off sick when everywhere is so short staffed.

You do know that numerous NATO aircraft, fighter, recon, tankers, drones, have been patrolling the Ukraine boarder continuously since before the start of the war?
According to this tweet, the video involved a 1 year old toddler, and was posted to Telegram (not Twitter).
Now I am highly skeptical.

Ofcourse. You think no extra measure are in place to provide security for Boris?
It was really a tongue in cheek comment and I get that physically getting off his arse and putting some skin in the game is symbolic but really I'm not sure it achieves much apart from a nice photo op so he can fulfill his desire to play Churchill.
I didn't realise there was still airlines playing from london to russian

I'm not sure I understand this logic. Putin claims "provacation" for anything. It doesn't matter if he started it or not. The "I will nuke you" threat will be the same regardless.
(And NATO seems to be very afraid of that threat.)
