Russia Recalls UK Ambassador As Tensions Deepen Between Moscow-London Over Ukraine | WATCH
Russia Recalls UK Ambassador As Tensions Deepen Between Moscow-London Over Ukraine | WATCH 121gamers 6 Views • 2 months ago

Tensions between Moscow and London have deepened further over Britain’s support for Ukraine, with Russia recalling its ambassador to the UK and leaving the diplomatic post without a permanent successor.

Andrey Kelin, who served as Russia’s ambassador to Britain for more than seven years, left his post on July 21. Moscow has not yet nominated a replacement to the UK Foreign Office, and embassy staff reportedly have no indication of when a new ambassador will be appointed. The Russian embassy in London said Kelin had left Britain hoping that “a more constructive and respectful dialogue” could eventually resume if the UK changed its policies towards Russia.

A spokesman for the Russian embassy said the Kremlin had not submitted a candidate to replace Kelin. “In the meantime, the embassy is headed by the chargé d’affaires,” the spokesman said. Kelin’s departure comes amid a sharp deterioration in relations between Russia and the UK since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin had previously warned that diplomatic ties could be downgraded in response to what it described as hostile actions by Western governments.

Russia threatens UK will “pay price” after drones strike targets deep inside country | BBC News
Russia threatens UK will “pay price” after drones strike targets deep inside country | BBC News 121gamers 18 Views • 2 months ago

Russia has threatened the UK with “consequences” and said it will pay a price, after it was confirmed that British drones had been used by Ukraine to carry out attacks on economic and military targets deep in its neighbour’s territory.

The British Prime Minister Andy Burnham responded by saying that the UK would continue "to support Ukraine 100%”. He said: “We are not fair-weather friends, we will be there in Ukraine's hour of need”.

The Russian embassy in the UK accused Britain of "deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis", saying "the deeper its involvement in the conflict... the higher the price it will pay".

Two British companies are known to have built drones supplied to Kyiv. A military source has confirmed to the BBC that UK drones had been used in recent attacks on Russia that reportedly caused more than £35bn in economic damage.

Kyiv has been stepping up long-range attacks on Moscow and other Russian regions, targeting oil refineries and also warehouses of the giant online retailer Wildberries. The attacks have directly affected Russia's domestic fuel supplies and dented the Russian economy.

The UK has been one of Ukraine's biggest international supporters since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Ministry of Defence said the UK was "committed to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against Putin's illegal invasion".

UK defence chiefs in crosshairs as Putin rages over game-changing Storm Shadow gift to Ukraine
UK defence chiefs in crosshairs as Putin rages over game-changing Storm Shadow gift to Ukraine 121gamers 20 Views • 2 months ago

Brit ex-Army commander Hamish de Bretton-Gordon warned that Russia’s secret service could set its sights on EU defence bosses – including those in the UK.

Raging Vladimir Putin could target Britain’s defence chiefs after the UK agreed to hand Storm Shadow missile blueprints to Ukraine.

Kremlin mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov blasted Britain for “adding fuel to the fire” before Prime Minister Andy Burnham hit back and said: “Who started the fire? That’s the question, isn’t it?”

Ahead of his first overseas trip since entering No10, Burnham pledged to give Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky information on the British components on Storm Shadow missiles so that Kyiv can manufacture the weapon itself.

Peskov reacted with fury – accusing Britain of “participating” in the war.

It comes days after Russia warned the UK there would be “consequences” over supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Buying your first house in the UK right now might seem like a distant dream to many.

Today’s prospective first time buyers may well feel hard done by; they are still worse off than recent generations.

If you were born in the mid-1990s you’ve about a 25% chance of owning your own home. But for twentysomethings in the 1990s were almost twice (47%) as likely to be on the housing ladder.

But is it getting a bit easier to get onto the housing ladder?
