Touch the Russians: Criticising Britain that no Russian official was invited to the Queen's funeral

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has condemned Great Britain's decision not to invite Russian officials to attend Queen Elizabeth's funeral II, Monday.

We see this as the use of national tragedy, which has touched the hearts of millions worldwide, for geopolitical purposes to settle accounts with our country, immoral”, Zakharova said.

Diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Russia have collapsed since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. A Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman had already said the Russian leader “was not considering taking the funeral to”.

No representatives from Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Belarus, and Myanmar have been invited.
