Russia hopes for better ties with Britain after Boris Johnson’s departure, says waiting for things to clear up in UK
The Kremlin on Tuesday said it hoped to see an improvement in ties with the UK after Boris Johnson resigned as Britain’s foreign minister in disagreement over the country’s Brexit strategy.
“We are waiting for things to clear up politically in Britain,” President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, suggesting Moscow was not too sad to see the minister go.
“Unfortunately his contribution to the development of bilateral ties with Russia was rather modest, to put it mildly,” he remarked.
