“The period
of the almost three-year premiership of [Theresa] May became destructive for the Russian-British relations. She applied the principle “highly likely”, which
became a precedent for the largest international diplomatic scandal and just
another anti-Russian sanctions that were based on fakes and unsubstantiated
accusations, for the first time. The fictional interpretation by the British
government of the story of the so-called poisoning of Skripal actually
undermined the norms of international law, caused great damage to cooperation
with Russia in so many areas,” Leonid Slutskiy
Leonid Eduardovich
stressed.
He also noted that in such context it is too early to speak about future prospects in relations between Moscow and London.
“We hope that the relations will get better because they can’t be any worse off than they are now,” the parliamentarian concluded.
