Once again, the Foreign Ministry has to raise its voice against the unrelenting aggressive anti-Russian rhetoric coming from the United Kingdom’s authorities, as well as London’s persistent efforts to impose illegitimate unilateral restrictions on our country, coupled with its reckless policy to support the neo-Nazi Kiev regime in pursuit of its vested geopolitical interests, which further delays the resolution of the Ukraine conflict without any reason.
This Russia-hating policy includes efforts to discredit Russia’s actions and isolate it on the international stage, while also spreading misinformation about our country, including in the context of the special military operation, coupled with offering military support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which borders on UK’s direct involvement in the conflict. This can lead to further escalation and demonstrates London’s commitment to carrying on with its system-wide confrontation with Russia.
Once again, Moscow stresses that this policy has no future and calls on London to renounce it in favour of mutually respectful and constructive ties for greater security and stability around the world.
In response to the hostile actions by the UK, Russia decided to designate several members of the UK’s political establishment, the military, high-technology sector, as well as journalists on the Russian stop list.
