Relations between Britain and Russia are unlikely to change soon, according to comments from Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Keir Starmer's planned departure won't alter Britain's approach because he had shown no effort to improve ties and had kept relations cut off. Starmer said he'll leave office and hopes to complete a leadership handover by September while keeping political stability.
