“We call on the British Foreign Office to stop provocative activities, stop spreading nonsense,” RIA Novosti quoted a statement.

In addition, the ministry recommended that British colleagues concentrate on studying the history of the Tatar-Mongol yoke, after the head of the Foreign Office, Liz Truss, said that Ukraine had experienced many invasions "from the Mongols to the Tatars."

Earlier, the British Foreign Office published an unsubstantiated statement that the Russian authorities intend to bring to governance in Ukraine a government loyal to Moscow, which allegedly could be headed by ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yevgeny Muraev.
