Changes in the UK’s policy towards Russia after the victory of the Conservative Party in the parliamentary elections are unlikely to follow, and if there is movement in a positive direction, it will take a lot of time, experts said at a press conference.
In the pre-term parliamentary elections held on the eve of the day, the Conservative Party won by a wide margin. Now the Conservative leader and Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have to form a government. British media believe that there will be no significant changes in the cabinet, while the government will not be formed on Friday.
“Relations with Russia were not a matter of the pre-election campaign. It was about the future of Brexit. Naturally, someone was trying to raise the question that the results of the 2016 referendum were influenced by the “hand of Moscow”, but it all died out. There were investigations, nothing they didn’t find, except for some crumbs that were difficult to qualify as some kind of interference, and all the more with a certain origin from abroad”, – said a member of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, an adviser to the Russian Embassy in the UK (2011- 2017) Alexander Kramarenko.
