“We are dealing with yet another example of a momentary manipulation of the subject of the fictional“ Russian threat ”. We understand that this is being done ahead of the elections, as well as the NATO summit in London. Such publications do not benefit Russian-British relations, ”the diplomatic mission said in a statement.
It is noted that there is no need to “confront” Russia when it is possible to cooperate with it, which “would meet the true interests of Great Britain”, and the fight against terrorism could become one of the areas of cooperation.
“It is surprising that instead of the tragedy on the London Bridge, Dominic Raab uses in his article for a new round of negative rhetoric in Russia,” the press service emphasized.
On Saturday, November 30th, Raab published an article in The Sunday Telegraph, “Britain Could Not Confront Putin If Jeremy Corbin Was the Prime Minister.”
In it, he called a terrorist attack on the London Bridge on November 29, which killed two people, a reminder of the many threats to British security.
However, the minister noted that the Labor Party, led by Jeremy Corbin, came to power, was not able to withstand any of them.
