The Russian Embassy in London called on the British Foreign Office not to spread “stupid rhetorical provocations” about Russia’s intention to bring a former Rada deputy to power in Ukraine. About this Russian embassy in London reported in the Telegram channel.
“We strongly urge London to stop stupid rhetorical provocations, which are very dangerous in the current heated environment, and contribute to real diplomatic efforts to provide reliable guarantees for European security,” the embassy said in a statement.
London threatened Moscow with sanctions without invading Ukraine
Diplomats considered the statements of their British counterparts anecdotal and urged not to “spread nonsense.” Earlier, the British Foreign Office said that Russia wants to achieve the coming to power in Ukraine of a leader loyal to Moscow.
As a candidate for this role, the Foreign Office named ex-deputy of the Rada Yevgeny Muraev. Muraev was included in the sanctions list of Russia in 2018 as a person threatening the national security of Russia. “Like the British intelligence services and the Foreign Office, this is combined with the fact that Russia allegedly wants to appoint me the head of the “occupation government,” this is a question for Mr. Bean (the hero of the British comedy series. – RBC),” Muraev said. Later, again commenting on the British statement, he said that the time of both pro-Western and pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine had passed and the country needed new leaders.
