Russia "does not expect changes" for the better in its relations with London after the election of Liz Truss as British Prime Minister, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov assured today.
"Judging by the statements of Mrs. Truss, made when she was still foreign minister (...), we can say with great certainty that we should not expect changes for the better," said Peskov, quoted by the official news agency TASS.
Liz Truss is known for her hard line against Russia, which she describes as an "aggressive" country, particularly because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine that has been ongoing since February 24.
Ukraine was already a priority for her predecessor, Boris Johnson, but Liz Truss has warned she will redouble efforts to support it.
"We will continue to move farther and faster to drive Russia out of all of Ukraine," he said in April.
