Because Britain is a “non-friendly” nation, Russian President Vladimir Putin did not congratulate the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak on taking office, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.
London is one of the most vocal allies of Ukraine against Russia. “Congratulations were not offered,” the statement read. “Britain is part of countries classed in a non-friendly group.”
Russia had stated on Tuesday that it could not see any justification for hoping for better ties with the UK under the new prime minister Rishi Sonak.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, told reporters, “At the moment, we do not see what calls for hope for any positive improvements in the foreseeable future.
At the negotiating table, he continued, “Russia is still open and ready to tackle the most challenging subjects, but not at the expense of our interests.”
After Liz underwent Tuesday’s training, Sonak became the country’s youngest prime leader in two centuries.
Since Russia dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to Ukraine on February 24, Britain has been one of the nations that has shown the most support for Kiev and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zellinski. Since then, Sonak has served as Britain’s third prime minister.
The resignation of Tarrach and its predecessor Boris Johnson was welcomed by Russian officials.
They frequently stated that they did not believe there was any chance of repairing ties between London and Moscow, irrespective of the British Prime Minister.
Tuesday, the newly appointed British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak assured the president of the Ukraine, Folodimir Zellinski, of the UK’s “strong” support for his nation as it is at war with Russia.
The British Prime Minister said in a statement that Sonak, in the first phone conversation he had with a foreign leader since he took office, “discussed with Ukrainian President Foludmir Zellinski to emphasize the UK’s firm support for Ukraine. ”
Sonak indicated to Zelenxi his “desire for a relative intimate meeting.”
The Ukrainian President stated that he had called Sonak to come to Ukraine and that he hoped to “strengthen” relations with Britain, which is one of the major nations supporting Kiev against Russia.
Because of his steadfast support for Ukraine against Russia, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who held the job until last September, was highly regarded in Kyiv. His resignation, which he announced in July, has raised many questions. Johnson has travelled to Ukraine three times since the conflict started in February; his most recent trip took place on August 24.
