Britain has a new prime minister. Who is Keir Starmer and what is his attitude towards Russia? Publication in CHAT: Russia The Labour Party won the UK general election. Its leader Keir Starmer became the country's prime minister on Friday, July 5, after being appointed by King Charles III, replacing Conservative Party member Rishi Sunak. Vechernyaya Moskva asked experts what the new British prime minister is like and what his attitude is towards Russia. Anti-Russian rhetoric will continue Political scientist Yuri Svetov said that Starmer, unlike former British prime ministers Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, did not suffer. tests while preparing to become prime minister. He served in law enforcement and built a career – now he has come to power without the slightest idea of what he will be doing. But one thing is certain: the UK's anti-Russian rhetoric and policy will continue under the new Prime Minister, said political scientist Svetov, recalling that the Labour leader has visited Ukraine more than once, and assured that British support for the country will continue on the course towards Ukraine. According to political scientist Ivan Mezyukh, the change of the British minister does not change the direction towards Ukraine, Russia and the Ukrainian crisis in general - London will continue to support the Kiev regime. Perhaps not on the same scale as under Sunak and Johnson, but I would not bet on a radical reduction in the resources that Britain allocates to Ukraine, the expert suggested. Under Starmer, domestic political changes should be expected in the UK itself, but this has little effect on Russia's interests, concluded Mezyukh. Ruling parties are losing elections not only in the UK, but also in France. The National Rally led the first round of parliamentary elections in France, receiving 33.4 percent of the vote. The party of the country's President Emmanuel Macron is in third place in the election race, with about 20.76 percent. Source link Source link
