Russia Recalls UK Ambassador As Tensions Deepen Between Moscow-London Over Ukraine | WATCH

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.
