British Foreign Secretary David Cameron was fooled by someone posing as former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko

Although the video call clearly appeared to be with Poroshenko, Cameron became suspicious after the conversation, the department said. After investigation, it turned out that the messages and the video call were a prank. The ministry provided no details about what was discussed, other than to say the caller asked Cameron for contact information for others.

The ministry said Cameron is making the deception public in case the video is manipulated and used, “and to ensure that others are aware of this risk.”

Not the first time

Cameron is not the first British foreign minister to have been fooled. In 2018, then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson discussed international relations and poetry with someone posing as the Prime Minister of Armenia.

  1. I’m not surprised that Cameron is too old school for the traps and pitfalls of 21st century politics, but, for heaven’s sake, can’t at least his stuff make him aware of these things? 🙄

  2. David Cameron is known to make huge mistakes. I don’t think there is any man alive that has fucked the U.K. as hard as he did.

    • A predictable gratuitous attack from a shit-for-brains leftist.
      Cameron ended 13 years of absolutely catastrophic Labour rule and won two elections; the second with an increased majority. Unlike you, he is a democrat and wished to give the people the chance to leave the EU, despite being a remainer himself.
      As Foreign Secretary, he became the first senior western politician to permit Ukraine to use British missiles inside russia.

  3. We all know who is behind this. The West is still bent over for mafia land’s hybrid warfare, with its cheeks spread widely.
