Russian Ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his lack of understanding of the situation in Ukraine during an interview with Turkey’s TRT World television.
Kelin highlighted that Starmer’s recent push for increased military capabilities and support for Ukraine may not align with the current reality on the ground.
Furthermore, Kelin pointed out that Starmer’s domestic economic plans have not been well-received by the population, leading to a decline in his popularity within the country.
Despite Starmer’s pledge to support Ukraine, there are concerns that pressure on the country to engage in peace talks with Russia may escalate in the coming years due to a decrease in military support from the West.
