"If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn't, but if he were, I really don't think he would've embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has," Johnson told German broadcaster ZDF
"If you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity, it's what he's doing in Ukraine," the British PM added.
