Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)Russia's President Vladimir Putin met today with Great Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the margin of a peace conference for Libya in Berlin, and Johnson seized the opportunity to say clearly that bilateral relations between Moscow and London will not normalise. The British prime minister demanded that Russia end [...]
The British prime minister demanded that Russia complete what it called a destabilising “activism that is threatening Great Britain, its citizens and allies, although it did not explain exactly what it meant.
Instead, Johnson once again referred to the issue of poisoning in Salisbury that London blames Moscow.
It was clear that there had been no change in the British position of Salisbury, which was a reckless use of chemical weapons and a reckless attempt to kill innocent people on British soil. He said such an attack should not be repeated,” said a Johnson spokesman in a statement, Reuters broadcast.
The problem relates to a 2018 chemical attack on a former Russian agent in the town of Salisbury for which the British government blamed Russia.
Kremlin said Putin, Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyeen discussed bilateral and international issues, including the Libyan peace process.
